About The Position

The Training and Compliance Associate drives continuous improvement in quality, workflow efficiency, staff readiness, and technology within revenue cycle operations. This role serves as the operational bridge between frontline teams, leadership, external partners, and technology/IT stakeholders — ensuring that people, processes, and systems are aligned and performing to standard. The Associate identifies opportunities to streamline current workflows and define best practices; through structured quality audits, performance analysis, and workflow review, the Associate determines whether issues stem from knowledge gaps, process design failures, system deficiencies, or vendor performance — and drives the appropriate corrective action on both human and AI-driven interactions either by delivering targeted training or translating operational findings into actionable requirements for IT, vendor, or leadership resolution. The Associate owns the integrity of the department's knowledge base, ensuring all policies, procedures, scripts, and decision trees are current, structured, and positioned to support both human and automated workflows. The Associate also plays a critical role in technology enablement — validating the accuracy of system automated outputs, supporting staff through technology adoption, and serving as the voice of the operational floor as needed. The Associate will identify and assess revenue cycle training needs through performance/compliance analysis, career path development, and project management. S/he will develop training programs working with HSS revenue cycle team members as well as vendor counterparts. The Associate will create communications to update staff on critical information and/or processes. S/He will develop and document internal procedures to be used in conjunction with EPIC applications. In addition, s/he will encourage staff development by designing instructional content, creating eLearning, providing at elbow support, leading onboarding classes for new employees, delivering classroom refresher training sessions, and offering ad hoc individual sessions, when appropriate. The Associate will take a blended approach to address new hire, optimization and efficiency training needs. The Associate will monitor reports and dashboards for compliance and safety issues, identify any additional report and/or dashboard needs, and work with the analytics team to develop. Will provide regular updates and reports to Senior Leadership for areas with improvement and partner with operational leaders to develop and implement action plans to address any issues.
