Position Summary: American Data Network is seeking an experienced Account Lead, Data Abstraction Services to coordinate and support assigned data abstraction client accounts. This full-time role is ideal for candidates who have already served as an abstraction lead, registry lead, quality lead, or similar role, as well as experienced healthcare abstractors ready to move beyond primary chart abstraction into a client-facing account coordination and oversight role.
The Account Lead serves as the primary point of contact for assigned client accounts and ensures accurate, timely, and well-coordinated abstraction work across all assigned measures, registries, abstractors, client systems, and deadlines. This role supports account health, client satisfaction, abstractor coordination, documentation standards, quality review, billing readiness, and issue escalation. This position does not include direct reports.
This is not a general data entry or abstractor position. Candidates must have direct healthcare registry, clinical chart review, quality reporting, or data abstraction experience.

This role is ideal for someone who is organized, responsive, detail-oriented, and comfortable balancing client expectations, abstractor needs, deadlines, documentation, and quality requirements.
ADN offers a knowledgeable and supportive team environment, meaningful work that supports hospitals and patient care, and the opportunity to contribute to a growing healthcare quality service line.
