A chart auditor is responsible for reviewing medical records and ensuring that they are accurate, complete, and compliant with regulatory standards. The auditor evaluates the medical record to ensure that the patient’s history, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes are accurately recorded. The auditor also checks to ensure that the medical record meets the standards set by regulatory bodies such as the Joint Commission and the Office of the Inspector General. In addition, the auditor may provide feedback to healthcare providers on best practices for chart documentation, coding, and billing.

Accurate medical records are essential for effective patient care, as they provide healthcare providers with important information about the patient’s medical history, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. Secondly, chart audits help to identify areas for improvement in the quality of patient care. By reviewing medical records, chart auditors can identify areas where documentation is lacking or inconsistent, which can lead to a better understanding of patient needs and improved outcomes. Audits are essential for maintaining regulatory compliance and reducing risk in the healthcare industry.
