Inpatient Coder 2 Certified / HIM Coding
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to include sections: About the role (maybe from Position Summary). Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (maybe break into sub-sections? But we can just have one Qualifications section with lists). Skills maybe part of Qualifications. But we could separate Skills if present: there is "Knowledge, Skills And Ability Requirements". That's a list of skills/knowledge. Could be Skills section.
We need to decide headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills. Benefits? Not explicit. Could include "Benefits" from "We take great care of careers..." but that's vague. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does mention "competitive benefits program". That's a statement about benefits. Could be considered benefits content. However it's generic. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's about benefits. It says "We know that a thriving organization starts with thriving employees-- we provide a competitive benefits program designed to ensure work/life balance." That's a statement about benefits. It's not specific like health insurance, 401k, etc. Might be considered vague but still a statement. The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state they provide a competitive benefits program. So we could include Benefits section with that sentence.
But we need to avoid duplication. Also we have "Every moment matters." repeated; that's boilerplate? Might be considered tagline but not boilerplate; we can keep as prose maybe in About the role.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content:
Location Detail: 9 Farm Springs Rd Farmington (10566) Shift Detail: 100% Remote Work where every moment matters. Every day, more than 40,000 Hartford HealthCare colleagues come to work with one thing in common: Pride in what we do, knowing every moment matters here. We invite you to become part of Connecticut’s most comprehensive healthcare network. The creation of the HHC System Support Office recognizes the work of a large and growing group of employees whose responsibilities are continually evolving so that we and our departments now work on behalf of the system as a whole, rather than a single member organization. With the creation of our new umbrella organization we now have our own identity with a unique payroll, benefits, performance management system, service recognition programs and other common practices across the system.
Position Summary Reviews inpatient clinical documentation to determine the appropriate assignment of alpha numeric diagnosis/procedure codes and Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Groups (MS-DRG). Data is classified for internal and external statistical reporting, research, regulatory compliance and reimbursement. Codes high dollar and more complex accounts including but not limited to, medical, surgical behavioral health, IP Rehabilitation and others.

Training Assists in training and mentoring new coders to become acclimated to new environment, and understand internal coding policies and procedures Working Relationships This position reports to Inpatient Coding Manager
Qualifications Education Associate’s Degree or equivalent experience Experience Minimum: Two to three years of progressive on-the-job experience in an acute care hospital.Preferred: Two to four years of progressive on-the-job experience in an acute hospital. Licensure, Certification, Registration Certified Coding Specialist (CCS) required and maintained thereafter. Language Skills Strong written and verbal communication skills.

We take great care of careers. With locations around the state, Hartford HealthCare offers exciting opportunities for career development and growth. Here, you are part of an organization on the cutting edge – helping to bring new technologies, breakthrough treatments and community education to countless men, women and children. We know that a thriving organization starts with thriving employees-- we provide a competitive benefits program designed to ensure work/life balance. Every moment matters. And this is your moment.
We need to strip boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We need to keep location and shift detail? Those are metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location and shift detail are minor metadata; we can include a short paragraph at top.
Thus output:
Location: 9 Farm Springs Rd, Farmington (10566). Shift: 100% Remote Work.
Then sections:
About the role
... (Position Summary plus maybe introductory paragraph about HHC). We need to preserve all substantive information. The introductory paragraph about HHC (the part after location) is substantive about organization. Could be part of About the role.
Thus About the role content: combine the paragraph starting "Every day, more than 40,000 Hartford HealthCare colleagues..." plus Position Summary.
We'll put that in
.
Responsibilities: we need to make a list. The responsibilities are many bullet-like sentences. We'll create
- each responsibility area.
We need to parse responsibilities: The text after "Position Responsibilities Key Areas of Responsibility Coding" then a long sentence with many clauses separated by periods. We can split by periods that start new capital letters? But we can just make each sentence a list item.
Let's extract sentences:
- Applies strong knowledge of anatomy and physiology, clinical disease processes, pharmacology, and diagnostic and procedural terminology to determine the appropriate assignment of diagnosis and procedure codes for more complex accounts.
- Analyzes medical records using the Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set (UHDDS), interprets documentation and assigns proper International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Edition, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) diagnoses and ICD-10-Procedural Classification System (PCS) operative procedure codes utilizing designated software to included Computer Assisted Coding (CAC) and/or encoder, coding manuals and other reference material.

We could keep "Working Relationships" as a separate sentence.
We'll make each as

We'll make

That's a long list; we can split each item after colon? Might be too granular but okay.
We could keep as one paragraph but instruction: Use
