Join the team connecting Alaska’s healthcare community

Positions Available

Full-time · Regular in-office days in the Anchorage office · Reports to the Executive Director

We’re looking for an experienced administrative professional who keeps an organization running smoothly and sees what’s needed before anyone asks. You’ll be the Executive Director’s right hand and the person who keeps our office, systems, and day-to-day operations in good order.

About healthEconnect Alaska

healthEconnect Alaska is the state-designated, nonprofit Health Information Exchange (HIE) for Alaska. We connect hospitals, clinics, and other care providers so a patient’s health information is available where and when it’s needed, in a state where care often happens hundreds of miles apart. We’re a small team with a statewide reach, and our work directly shapes how health care in Alaska is delivered.

What you’ll do

  • Provide high-level administrative support to the Executive Director, including scheduling, meeting preparation, and travel arrangements.
  • Coordinate in-person and virtual meetings and events, from materials and room setup to technology for remote participants.
  • Handle routine financial tasks: bank deposits, accounts payable for recurring vendors, and insurance policies and renewals.
  • Manage benefits administration and required employment reporting, working with our HR and accounting contractors.
  • Administer our SharePoint site and support the team’s use of Asana and help improve our workflows and documentation.
  • Make basic website updates and keep outreach materials organized, current, and stocked, following established procedures.
  • Keep the Anchorage office running: supplies, equipment, mail, and a professional, welcoming space.

What you bring

  • 5+ years of experience in an administrative, executive assistant, or office management role.
  • Confident, efficient use of Microsoft 365, video conferencing, cloud file systems, and project management tools, plus an interest in learning new technology.
  • Strong organization, attention to detail, and the judgment to prioritize across varied responsibilities.
  • Professionalism and discretion with confidential and financial information.
  • Strong interpersonal skills, including working well with teammates who are often remote.
  • Comfort moving between executive-level support and hands-on tasks like mail, deposits, and supplies.

Nice to have: experience with Asana or SharePoint; bookkeeping, accounts payable, or invoice processing; supporting a senior executive; basic website content updates; and coordinating meetings, events, or travel.

Who thrives here

We’re a small team, so your work is visible and it matters. This role suits someone who takes initiative, manages their own workload with minimal oversight, and uses quieter stretches to find ways to make the organization run better. People do well here when they’re self-driven, enjoy a blend of independent and collaborative work, and like solving problems.

Where you’ll work

We’re an Alaska organization serving Alaska health care, and we hire people who live here. This role includes regular in-office days in our Anchorage office and occasional extra days for meetings and events, so you’ll need to live in the Anchorage area.

What we offer

  • Competitive salary, based on experience
  • Health coverage
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Paid time off
  • Professional development opportunities

Full-time · Alaska-based · Hybrid · Reports to the Executive Director

You love healthcare quality data. Maybe you pull HEDIS measures for a payer, run quality reporting for a hospital system, support a care gap program at a clinic or an ACO, or build the dashboards a quality team depends on. Your title might be data analyst, quality improvement specialist, reporting analyst, or population health manager. Whatever it’s called, you know how to follow data from one system into another and how data is used to improve health outcomes.

healthEconnect Alaska is creating a Population Health Data Specialist position. You’ll be our population health data expert, turning health information into insight that providers, care managers, payers, and the public health officials can act on.

This work starts with one question: how can our data support quality measures and value-based care? If you want to answer that question and build organizational capabilities to improve healthcare data across Alaska, this role is for you.

About healthEconnect Alaska

healthEconnect Alaska is the state-designated, nonprofit Health Information Exchange (HIE) for Alaska. We connect hospitals, clinics, and other care providers so a patient’s health information is available where and when it’s needed, in a state where care often happens hundreds of miles apart. We’re a small team with a statewide reach, and our work directly shapes how health care is delivered in Alaska.

What success looks like

This is a new position, so some of it will depend on you. But a year in, here’s what we expect to be true.

  • You know each of our population health offerings: how it’s built, who uses it, what the data looks like, and where its quality breaks down.
  • You’ve assessed data quality by offering, data type, and feed. Every gap you’ve found has an owner and a next step, and quality monitoring runs as a regular practice, not a one-time review.
  • You can tell whether a gap comes from the HL7 standard, the feed, or a participant’s workflow, and explain it in plain terms to people who don’t work with data.
  • The Executive Director has a written view from you of what our data can support, where the limits are, and which offerings to strengthen, expand, or leave alone.
  • You’ve helped build the data infrastructure for population health management, quality reporting, and care gap closure, and the reports, dashboards, and data products on it are in use for HEDIS reporting and for value-based care and alternative payment model work.
  • You’ve worked with providers, payers, and state agencies to understand what they need from our data, and you’ve trained and advised partners on our population health tools and how they fit with their own systems.
  • Our population health data has clear ground rules: you’ve contributed to the policies and procedures for how it’s used and shared, kept the work compliant with HIPAA and health data sharing requirements, and written user guides for the offerings you work on.

That’s just the start. From there, you’ll work directly with hospitals, clinics, and payers as they move into value-based care, represent healthEconnect in workgroups and committees, and set direction in your area of expertise.

What’s hard about this job

We’re a team of less than ten, mostly remote. This position is new in the organization so there isn’t a clear roadmap on the day-to-day work that will be needed to accomplish the goals; that will be for you to shape. Using our data for population health management, rather than solely point of care decisions, is a less used capability of the HIE so you will be helping shape that service line. The technical work of our HIE is done by our technology partners so you will be reliant on working closely with a team that is not managed by healthEconnect. Answers to problems won’t always be clear; your job will be to help solve them!

What you bring

Healthcare quality data experience matters most here. You’ve worked with clinical or claims data at a hospital system, a payer’s quality or analytics team, an ACO or clinically integrated network, a clinic quality program, or an HIE, and you’ve supported quality measures or care gap programs, HEDIS, or similar.

The skill we need most is a clear understanding of how health data is used for quality reporting, value-based care, or population health programs and how that data flows through systems. If you’ve done that with healthcare data, we want to hear from you!

You’re strong in Excel, comfortable with a tool like Power BI, can explain what data can and can’t support to people who don’t work with data, and know the basics of HIPAA. You have some familiarity with HL7, FHIR, and C-CDA, enough to ask good questions and get targeted support from other experts.

It will help if you have:

  • Value-based care or alternative payment model experience.
  • A degree in public health, health informatics, nursing, or a related field.
  • Experience with a health information exchange.
  • Familiarity with Alaska’s healthcare community.

Where you’ll work

We’re an Alaska organization serving Alaska health care, and we hire people who live here. Being part of the community we serve is part of how we do this work well.

This role is hybrid: there’s real flexibility to work from home, and we also value time together, in our Anchorage office, with partners, and around a table working through a problem.

Occasional travel for conferences and partner meetings is part of the job.

What we offer

  • Competitive salary, based on experience
  • Health coverage
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Paid time off
  • Professional development opportunities
