Westat is currently seeking motivated individuals with a commitment to excellence to work as Medical Record Abstractors (MRAs) for the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN). DAWN is a data collection effort sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). DAWN will collect emergency department data from a sample of hospitals across the U.S., with a focus on identifying sentinel drug events. In the wake of the opioid epidemic, SAMHSA’s focus for DAWN is to be a true early warning system for drug-related events, identifying new and emerging drugs and use patterns, and for this surveillance data to be made quickly available to participating hospitals and health officials at the local level.
The primary role of the MRA is to review medical records in a sampled hospital’s emergency department(s), abstract specific information from a patient’s chart following the project’s case identification protocol, and enter the information into a data collection tool.
Protecting the health and safety of our employees and survey participants is a top priority for Westat. Based on recommendations from the CDC and other public health authorities, we require staff to protect and monitor their health while working on their assignment. The use of personal protective equipment, regular testing for COVID-19, or other screening activities is required. As a Federal Government contractor, Westat will require staff to provide proof that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 upon hire, and to follow all safety protocols, subject to approved accommodations under applicable law.
