Medical records helpers are responsible for assembling and organizing individual patients’ medical information, and then entering it into a health record (HR.) This medical information may include:  medical histories taken by various health care professionals;  information about symptoms that have caused the patient to seek medical information;  the results of physical examinations; physicians’ diagnoses; physicians’ treatment plans and nursing care plans; physicians’ notes and nursing notes; x-ray and laboratory test results; consent forms.   The medical records helper is responsible for ensuring all the information entered into the HR is accurate and complete. The first step in this process involves reviewing any paper documents to make sure all forms are completed, identified and signed. (In the future, as more and more primary interactions are encoded digitally, this step will be a review of electronic documents.) Once all information is verified, the medical records technician will begin entering it into an HR.  Confidential information is sometimes shared with the secretarial worker therefore the secretarial worker should have the utmost discretion. Also, maintaining the security and well-being of the county is critical.  Performs other duties as assigned.
