    • Data Entry & Documentation: Complete necessary data entry using the encoder system and ensure all required data items are reviewed and entered into VA systems.
    • Confidentiality & Compliance: Ensure that all coding and documentation are in compliance with HIPAA regulations and VA security policies. Maintain a private and secure workspace to protect PHI/PII.
    • Performance Monitoring: Participate in regular performance reviews to ensure accuracy and meet the required turnaround time for each encounter/record type.
