In Minot, ND, population 47,800, staff at Trinity Health often face challenges when filling positions for health information (HI) professionals.

The pool of local and regional HI candidates is limited, says Deb Boppre, MSM, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, FAHIMA, enterprise health information/clinical documentation director for Trinity Health. At the same time, the growing number of remote roles for HI professionals is frequently more appealing to job seekers than in-person roles, she says.

“People have opportunities to get better jobs all the time,” Boppre says. “Especially in a smaller community, we cannot be as competitive from a wage perspective. We’re having to compete with Minneapolis, Denver, New York, or anywhere across the country. Staffing has been a struggle.”
