• Document and classify data from traditional HIPAA medical documentation sources (EMR, NA, PR, HL7, and DI) and emerging new sources (MU CDA, ANSI-837, RIS, CHARS, and APCD) according to specific guidelines
• Interpret, classify, and report on experimental, molecular, and pathologic test results from patient transcripts
• Adjudicate discrepancies in data provided by various data sources
• Perform targeted audits on outlier cohorts
• Prepare written reports on data results as part of ongoing quality assurance protocols
• Write newsletter articles as assigned or voluntarily submit articles geared toward improving the skills of our data providers
• Follow established protocols and provide recommendations for process improvements
• Update existing procedural documentation and draft new procedures
• Validate training exercises and provide narrative feedback on issues using prescribed format
• Meet the minimum of 98% accuracy in incident reporting and progress to 99.5% accuracy

• High attention to detail
• Clear and concise writing skills

Preferred qualifications

• Demonstrated experience with procedure or technical writing (provide samples).
• Prior experience working in a data-driven environment
