Job Summary

Join our team as a Medical Records Analyst, where you'll play a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and completeness of medical records for VTH patients. You'll become proficient in Medical Record Department policies, particularly regarding the release and charging for medical record information. This position also involves providing exceptional customer service related to patient health information to clinicians, staff, students, and external customers.

 

The role involves gathering required medical record documentation for every service type by viewing HIS (Hospital Information System) admissions and discharges, and scanning hard copy medical record documentation into the patient record via HIS. You will validate patient demographics and clinician information listed on the Case Summary for each visit, ensuring required electronic signatures and documentation exist within the medical record. Working directly with clinicians and students to obtain documentation required for record completion is a key part of the job. You will follow the established VTH ‘Incomplete Medical Record Policy’ and procedures to ensure completeness of medical visits, analyzing the deficient EMR visit report in HIS daily and approving completed records as necessary. Monthly, you will conduct the “Incomplete Count” and electronically distribute the Incomplete Record Report and Graph to all VTH. Additionally, you will oversee and maintain Confidentiality Statements for VTH/VCS staff and students with HIS access, share responsibility for answering phones and assisting internal/external customers of the Medical Records Department, and maintain inventory of supplies and medical record forms, ordering when necessary.
