When a patient visits their healthcare provider, a record is maintained of any observations made and treatments provided, including information provided by the patient concerning their symptoms and medical history. Medical records and health information technicians organize and evaluate these records to ensure they are complete and accurate. They may communicate with physicians and other healthcare professionals to clarify diagnoses or to obtain additional information.
Demand for employees trained to work in health information technology (IT) has greatly increased as government and insurance agencies increasingly rely on electronic records databases to organize patient information and determine payment for treatments.
