A leading clinical documentation firm has announced that it is ready to open the doors at its new facility in Greensboro, North Carolina, and is looking for workers with health information technician training and other technical experience.
SPi Healthcare said the new site will open at the end of December and will help support recent growth in the Southeast region of the state. The company said it expects to create 75 new jobs in the Greensboro area by the end of 2013.
The organization will offer revenue cycle management services and business process outsourcing to healthcare facilities and providers that are looking to tighten their margin of declining revenues through reimbursement.
John O'Donnell, president and chief executive officer of SPi, said health information management is an emerging field.
"We are excited to be part of the Greensboro community where we know the work ethic is strong and the business climate is positive," O'Donnell added. "This enables us to have a larger presence in the Southeast, expand our national footprint, and position us for a great opportunity for further growth."
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment opportunities for medical records and health information technicians are expected to grow by 20 percent through the end of the decade.
