About the role

Northlake Behavioral Health System - Health Information Department Supervisor We treat all the people who need us. Not just the people who can afford us. Northlake Behavioral Health System is a non-profit inpatient behavioral health hospital that cares for our patients regardless of their ability to pay because we believe that mental health care should be accessible to everyone.

The Role: This is a brand new, working supervisor position. Under the direction of the Director of Health Information, you will help lead the HID team while working alongside them every day. You will help keep our records accurate, complete, organized, and moving. That means assembling, analyzing, filing, scanning, and processing medical records; tracking chart deficiencies; responding to requests; and stepping in wherever the department needs you. You will also take ownership of work that requires experience and attention to detail, including:

Release of information
Subpoenas and court orders
Requests involving minors
Chart deficiencies and follow-up through resolution
Leadership reports
Record readiness for surveys and regulatory review
And you will help us prepare for what comes next.
We are a paper-chart hospital today, with all the volume and complexity that comes with it. An EHR is on our horizon, and this position will help map current workflows, inventory our records, and plan for how decades of paper records will be scanned, indexed, and organized.
It is a rare opportunity to help build a system instead of inheriting one
YouYou are meticulous. In this department, a misfiled page or a record released without valid authorization is not a small thing, and you understand why.
You are a motivated team player who sees what needs to be fixed and takes action. You do not wait to be told what needs attention, but you also understand the importance of following the right process.
You assess. You recommend. You implement.
You are comfortable with paper, embrace technology, detail-oriented by nature, and ready for what comes next.

Qualifications: Two pathways:

RHIT or RHIA credentialed; New graduates are welcomeOR3-5+ years of medical records experience and proof of current enrollment in an RHIT or RHIA program
Behavioral health experience is a plus
Supervisory experience is a plus
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
Ability to work independently while collaborating with the HID team
A positive attitude and approach to leadership

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
