Are you a fit?
Do you enjoy repetition? Consistency? Autonomous work? As a Records Specialist, you sort incoming forms, and then scan and index (file) them into prescribed areas of the electronic medical record. This job requires extreme accuracy, so that physicians and other staff can find forms in the areas of the chart where they are expected to be located. When patient demographic information is missing from forms, there is also some detective work to be done to figure out who the forms belongs to. Depending on setting and specific position, some Records Specialists may also play a role in releasing medical records; this requires communication with patients or other healthcare facilities and following protocols to ensure HIPAA compliance.
