Medical Records department typically request

H&P from hospitals, provide records as requested

from billing department and adheres to HIPAA at

all times. So, what is our medical records

department working on? Making sure their work

is in concentric circle by staying current and

updated on all their work. Organizing patient

documents and physician order.

This department is important because it requires

complete and accurate maintenance of patient

records and documents. All medical staff can

access all patient information and history. It is an

essential department for continuity of patient

care. Being in Medical Records requires detective

work. Locating Doctors, verifying correct PCP and

just confirming accurate information.

Most of all the medical records team help out

where needed!

Medical RecordsThere is more to patient records

than meets the eye.

When we think of Medical Records in a home

health agency we think of simple file keeping

however it is far and beyond record keeping. In

speaking to Gina, Lynn and Eunice there is

meticulous work involved that requires attention

to detail. They take absolute pride and care in

ensuring that all the elements of patient records

are accounted for on a daily basis. Our medical

records team is able to accomplish so much in

such a demanding deadline. Their main duties

require that they are in compliant with signed

orders and that patient records are uploaded onto

our EMR program. Furthermore, they track all

orders and verify that the doctors information is

correct.
