The main function of the Quality Assurance Department is to carry out benchmarking and audit activities for the DAX business.  Quality Document Specialists create structured charts based on the information gleaned from the conversation between a patient and provider. These charts are then delivered to the provider for signature in the EHR.  Once the charts are delivered, the Quality Assurance Department audits a predetermined percentage of charts for each client to grade errors when found and arrive at a accuracy percentage as a quality metric for that client. This is then published with the intention of understanding the current delivered quality as well as to educate the document specialists and drive improvement in quality.
