Chief Nurse Consultant

The Chief Nurse Consultant typically reviews and abstracts information from death certificates, birth certificates, fetal death certificates, medical and hospitalization records, autopsies, and social service records, in an effort to collect relevant data into a case narrative. Contacting hospitals and arranging access to medical records for assigned cases may be the responsibility of the Chief Nurse Consultant and may be divided between incumbent(s) and the FIMR coordinator. The incumbent typically receives assigned cases from the program coordinator and then abstracts them within a specified time period. The abstractor is responsible for reviewing records from each hospital, filling out appropriate abstraction forms, writing a case narrative, and providing additional information on each case in the FIMR database. While most records are found at area hospitals, the abstractor may be required to gather information from other types of facilities. The abstractor will typically attend review committee meetings.
