What does a remote data abstractor do?

As a remote data abstractor, you work from home to review and assess clinical data in medical records to verify compliance with health care standards and company regulations. Your duties and responsibilities include abstracting key information from charts, performing clinical auditing, and entering data into a database. You are also responsible for ensuring that electronic records are complete and accurate, and for identifying opportunities for improvement in the data collection and auditing workflow. Patient safety initiatives and quality of care are at the top of your priorities, so you must be meticulously analytical, with strong strategic-thinking skills.
