Perioperative Operations Coordinator

We are seeking a Perioperative Operations Coordinator
to join our team at UnityPoint Health! The System Perioperative Operations Coordinator safeguards the accuracy and integrity of surgical supply and implant charges across all UnityPoint Health perioperative sites. Working at the intersection of Epic (OpTime/Cupid), the supply chain ERP system, and perioperative clinical operations, the role identifies and corrects charge, supply-record, and implant-documentation errors before they affect revenue, the patient record, or compliance.

The role recognizes when a supply or implant record change alters the clinical meaning of a documented device, traces the downstream impact through Epic usage and charge records, coordinates corrections with site informatics teams system-wide, and recovers missed and over-stated charges through structured daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly audits. This is a data- and systems-driven charge-integrity function requiring deep Epic fluency and perioperative product knowledge, distinct from Epic application build and configuration.

The position reports to the System Director, Perioperative Operations, and serves as a system-level bridge connecting supply-chain and charge activity to perioperative operational and financial performance.

Hours: Monday-Friday, standard business hours

Location: Remote - applicants preferably reside within the UnityPoint Health footprint of Iowa, Illinois, or Wisconsin
