    What is a "data abstractor"?

    People who abstract data from charts. We have trauma registrars (data analysts) who abstract patient and event data from our medical records and enter it in our trauma registry (database), and they also code for injuries and procedures.

    OP, "data abstraction" is very general. What sort of data abstraction?

    You're probably going to have to take a coding/billing class as these positions are typically used to fulfill those functions. Have you found a job already? What do the requirements say?

    Hi Pixie.RN, thank you so much for the information. That is the way I need to go. Yes I found a company online that will allow me to work from home which will be the best thing to happen to me now but they require that I have experience already extracting data, they don't have training for it, that is the requirement.

    Q Centrix, have you looked at their job requirements. they ask you come in fully certified and ask you to pass their test. There are trauma registries, Get with the guidelines, NSQIP. and Bariatric registries. all require you get trained and certified by the sponsoring hospital. There are hospital coders by they also have to pass a test. You have to know ICD 10 codes and CPTs codes.
