Familiarity with electronic health records (EHR) systems, coding standards (such as ICD-10 or CPT), and possibly certifications like RHIT or CCS is typically required. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective written communication are standout soft skills in this position.

Regular tasks can include entering data into EHR systems, generating reports, and participating in audits or process improvement activities. This role requires excellent time management and organizational skills, as meeting deadlines while maintaining accuracy is crucial. Depending on the employer, chart review professionals may work onsite in healthcare facilities or remotely.
