I have over five years of experience working with EHR systems, including Epic and Cerner. My responsibilities included entering patient data, updating medical records, and ensuring compliance with HIPAA regulations. I am proficient in navigating these systems to retrieve and manage patient information efficiently. Additionally, I have trained new staff on EHR usage, ensuring they understand the importance of accuracy and confidentiality in maintaining medical records.

To ensure accuracy, I double-check all entries and cross-reference data with other sources when necessary. For confidentiality, I strictly adhere to HIPAA guidelines, using secure login credentials and only accessing records on a need-to-know basis. I also conduct regular audits to identify and correct any discrepancies. Additionally, I stay updated on best practices for data security and participate in ongoing training to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

During a hospital merger, I was responsible for integrating thousands of medical records from two different systems. I prioritized tasks, organized records systematically, and worked overtime to meet deadlines. By collaborating with IT and administrative teams, I ensured a smooth transition with minimal disruption to patient care. This experience honed my ability to manage large datasets efficiently while maintaining accuracy and confidentiality.

When I identify discrepancies, I first verify the correct information by consulting with healthcare providers or cross-referencing other documents. I then update the records promptly and document the changes for audit purposes. If the error is significant, I escalate it to the appropriate supervisor. My goal is to resolve issues quickly while maintaining transparency and ensuring the integrity of the medical records.

I regularly attend workshops and webinars on medical coding and record-keeping. I also subscribe to industry newsletters and participate in professional organizations like AHIMA. Staying informed about regulatory updates, such as changes to ICD-10 codes or HIPAA requirements, is a priority. This proactive approach ensures that I maintain compliance and implement best practices in my daily work.
