A hospital registrar is a healthcare professional who registers patients for admission to hospitals, clinics, and physicians. They operate the front desk in hospitals, receiving patients and ensuring that their information is recorded and that they are registered on the hospital computer system. The primary responsibility of a hospital registrar is to ensure that all patient records are accurate and up-to-date. Their duties include registering patients, assigning rooms, and notifying patients of appointments. Hospital registrars are responsible for completing and checking patients’ medical records and for entering data into the hospital computer system. They also process patient registration, patient billing and collection, and patient insurance verification. Hospital registrars should be professional at all times and keep patient records confidential. To become a hospital registrar, a medical practitioner enrolls with a medical specialty college to pursue advanced training in their chosen field. The primary qualifications for getting a job as a patient registrar are a high school diploma and some experience in a customer service setting.
