Under general supervision, incumbents perform either supervisory duties over a department or section usually consisting of at least three Patient Record Abstractor IIs or at least five Patient Record Abstractor Is or equivalents; or non-supervisory duties requiring a high level of skill and complexity. Non-supervisory positions at this level differ from Patient Record Abstractor IV positions in that they involve less varied types of skills and less complex work than is required of the Patient Record Abstractor IV class. The Patient Record Abstractor III class may be used for positions in which the incumbent has reached the advanced operational level of capability in work requiring complex skills in a limited variety of areas. Supervisory positions at this level differ from those at the Patient Record Abstractor II level in that they usually involve full supervisory authority over a larger number of personnel in higher level classes whereas Patient Record Abstractor II positions may perform only as working supervisors, serve as technical resources, or exercise limited supervisory authority. Examples: In a non-supervisory position within a Hospital Medical Records Department Coding Section, incumbents perform complex and detailed coding of patient records for a data processing analysis and retrieval system at an advanced operational level of capability. In a non-supervisory position within a Hospital Medical Correspondence Department, incumbents perform the duties normally performed by Patient Record Abstractor IIIs and, in addition, make comparative analyses requiring limited abstraction of a simple three- or four-visit patient record; and prepare original summaries explaining the disability to insurance companies and employers. This work requires recognition of medical information needed for release on a problem usually resulting from previously released billing and disability information. In a supervisory position in a Hospital department serving a Professional Group, incumbents supervise a group of more than three Patient Record Abstractor IIs in the control, analysis, organization, and abstraction of patient records. Such work may also include peripheral tasks such as maintenance of patient indices.
