Who is responsible for pulling trends out of data, making judgments based on information, and collaborating with informatics nurse specialists?

  1. Data Entry Clerk

  2. Experienced Nurse

  3. Medical Coder

  4. Ward Clerk

The correct answer is: Data Entry Clerk

A Data Entry Clerk has responsibilities that include entering information into databases, making sure the data is accurate, and extracting trends from the data. Experienced nurses may have knowledge and experience in data analysis, but their primary responsibility is patient care. Medical coders are responsible for assigning codes to medical procedures and diagnoses for insurance purposes, but they do not typically analyze data or collaborate with informatics nurses. A ward clerk may assist with administrative tasks, but they are not responsible for data analysis or collaborating with informatics nurses.
