Summary
St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is excited to announce an opening for the position of Health Record Coordinator, an entry-level role that blends traditional record management with a focus on digital healthcare transformation.
Each patient has a record of all their treatment and care which must be accurate and up to date. Health records staff are responsible for organising, updating, and storing records. This can be either a physical (paper) record or stored electronically - or a mix of both. In addition, health records staff prepare for long term storage, any records that are no longer active.
As part of the NHS goal of becoming paperless, the Trust is gradually introducing digital records for nursing and doctor’s documentation, as well as electronic prescribing and medication administration.
These changes will provide staff in the Trust with more effective time management, remove the risks associated with paper (caused by handwriting legibility, transcription mistakes and unavailability of documents, etc), improve communication and access to information, and ultimately provide better care to our patients and you can help us make this a reality for our community much faster!
***Please refer to attached job description and person specification for the full list of job duties:***
Record Management:Efficiently organise and maintain patient health records, embracing both traditional and digital formats, in compliance with NHS guidelines and protocols.
Digitisation:Contribute to the ongoing digital transformation by scanning and digitising paper records, ensuring seamless integration into electronic health record systems.
Data Entry:Accurately input patient information into electronic health record systems, fostering the transition towards a more streamlined and efficient data management process.
Quality Assurance:Conduct regular audits to ensure the integrity and completeness of both physical and digital health records.
