• Identify missing or incomplete information and accurately transfer designated clinical and administrative data into Epic.
• Review patient histories, diagnoses, medications, allergies, laboratory results, vital signs, immunizations, and clinical notes.
• Support chart abstraction across multiple specialties, including Primary Care, OB/GYN, Behavioral Health, Dental, Optometry, and Care Coordination.
• Verify patient information and ensure records are accurately documented without unnecessary duplicate entries.
• Identify discrepancies or missing information and escalate concerns to the appropriate team members.
• Maintain accurate tracking of completed and outstanding charts while meeting established quality and productivity expectations.
• Follow HIPAA requirements and maintain strict patient confidentiality.
