What kind of job is this?

Hi everybody. I recieved a job offer a while back but I could not take it because I was already working full time hours and could not work as many hours as they needed in addition to my current position. Well now I would be able to accept a position like this but I have no idea what the job is called. They wanted me to go to different facilities throughout the week, going through patient charts. I don't remember what it was I would have been looking for in these charts but I do remember thinking this would have been a great opportunity for me as I enjoy the paperwork aspect of nursing. Is anyone familiar with a position like this?

It maybe something like an auditor or something. I know they do that in my province ( I live in Ontario) and it has to do with funding for LTC facilites from the government.

Loriangel 14 is correct. You would be an Auditor.
