Enhance your professional foundation in health information management through a role that pairs operational variety with the unique documentation demands of rehabilitation and complex continuing care. As a Medical Records Technician at Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital, you will build practical experience In release of information, deficiency management and health records processes that support safe, coordinated patient care. Working within a rehabilitation and complex continuing care environment, you will gain exposure to diverse and complex documentation needs, including supporting administrative processes for out-of-province and international patients. The hospital’s transition to EPIC gives you the opportunity to build working proficiency with one of the most widely adopted electronic patient record systems in North America. This is a role with unique depth and variety that keeps your skills sharp and your work engaging.
Is this you?You spot the details others might miss. Checking charts for missing documentation and making corrections is a regular part of your day, and you take the time to make sure each record is complete and accurate. Small oversights matter in patient records, and getting them right is something you take real pride in. That precision builds the kind of reputation that makes you the person colleagues turn to when a record needs a second look, and it can open the door to quality review and data integrity work down the road.
Are you able to keep several things moving at once? Retrieving charts from off-site storage, tracking down missing documentation and coordinating the release of information often overlap. A system for tracking what’s pending, what’s waiting on someone else and what’s ready to go keeps your priorities clear and nothing slipping through. Developing that skill sharpens your ability to juggle competing demands, which means clinicians and patients get their records, without delays that affect care or continuity.
You work well as part of a team and understand the value of clear communication. Supporting inpatient units, outpatient clinics and external partners means requests arrive from many directions, and collaboration is what keeps records moving. You clarify exactly what’s needed and coordinate with colleagues so work is shared across the department. Along the way, you’ll build relationships across the hospital and learn how different areas operate. Those connections broaden your understanding of Sinai Health and help every team you support work more smoothly.
