Medical records managers are responsible for maintaining and securing all written and electronic medical records within a facility's medical records department or its equivalent.
They also ensure that information contained in the record is complete, accurate and only available to authorized personnel. Other duties include overseeing personnel for the entire department, which can include medical record technicians (also known as health information technicians), medical coding specialists, cancer registrar coders, medical secretaries and file clerks.
Medical records managers also collect data for medical research and for calculating hospital occupancy rates.
