1. There is a need to have some appreciation for administration in the healthcare sector

Dreaming about hectic shifts and troubled people on your mind is something you won't find in this business — seriously, ever. This is because patients do not appear in front of nursing audit professionals most of the time.

There are some types of health audits that deal with patients, but most of the time, these professionals only have access to systems, physical or electronic records.

Therefore, they do not deal directly with patients who are in dangerous situations or who require nursing care.

What needs to be remembered is that even maintaining physical distance from the patient, audited care plays a very important role in maintaining the health of these people. By analyzing medical records, we can check whether the service is of the expected quality.

2. Being experienced doesn't mean much

Most professionals fresh out of college are told that if they want to get involved in auditing, they must do so after a long experience assisting.

However, there are other ways to alleviate the lack of work in the nursing field in these years.

Even in clinical audits, investing in courses with practical time can bring quality experience, as the objective of the experience is to provide audit professionals with knowledge to support disputes during negotiations. Understanding what is being reviewed is essential for positive results in the process.

3. You will never stop studying — unless you want to become obsolete, of course

Nursing is an area that requires a lot of research on the part of professionals, as it is an area in constant change and dynamics.

Due to constant research and controversies, mainly the technical and administrative analysis of the process, research needs are one of the competencies of auditors and nurses.

Learning should be part of the routine systematization of nursing audit professionals.

Every time there is a new vacancy available in the workforce, a new contract, an agreement, or even technology and technological innovation, research on the subject must be strengthened so that more effective and decisive actions can be taken.

In the audit, you always need to do your best so that the quality of the entire process is not lost. This does not mean comparing yourself to other professionals, but rather doing your part safely and helping your company achieve the best results.

4. If you think you won't watch math anymore...

Yes, my noble auditor… Mathematics is already part of the nursing routine, especially when we talk about auditing. For example, calculation tables, fees, allowances, daily rates and many other calculations that exist in hospital bill audits.

So if you don't like numbers and math programs, carefully consider whether this is really your thing! The numbers in the audit field are graphical representations of the financial value and you should be careful when checking them.

Overvaluing or undervaluing means financial loss for healthcare institutions, and one of our responsibilities is to ensure that the company's budget is maintained.

For those who don't care about calculations and recalculations, you will often see if the check fees are correct, adjusting the amounts consistently according to the form and analyzing the signed contract is even interesting. This makes auditing a very interesting activity and allows us to apply many areas of knowledge beyond healthcare terms and procedures.
