medical records review

Medical records review involves carefully examining a patient’s health records—such as doctors’ notes, test results, and treatment histories—to gather accurate information about their healthcare. This process helps ensure that the care provided is appropriate, identify any gaps or inconsistencies, and support decisions about diagnosis, treatment, or billing. It may be used for quality assurance, legal purposes, insurance claims, or medical research. The review requires attention to detail and understanding of medical terminology to accurately interpret the records and support better healthcare outcomes.
