What I'm looking for

Seeking a role that values data accuracy, privacy, and the use of EHR systems to enhance healthcare delivery and patient outcomes.

I am a detail-oriented Health Records and Information Officer with comprehensive experience in managing, organizing, and maintaining patient health records.

I have consistently ensured the accuracy and confidentiality of health records, leveraging my knowledge of HIPAA compliance and electronic health record systems.

I take pride in my ability to streamline processes, having digitized over 15,000 medical records and reducing retrieval times significantly.
