• Track and trend QA findings to identify recurring documentation issues and recommend process or training improvements.
• Maintain organized, audit-ready records in preparation for state surveys, Medicare/Medicaid audits, and internal compliance reviews.
• Support timely chart closure for recertification, resumption of care, discharge, and transfer episodes.
• Collaborate with the Director of Patient Care Services / Clinical Manager on corrective action plans when deficiencies are identified.
• Maintain strict patient confidentiality in accordance with HIPAA and agency policy.
