Flatiron Health Data Abstractor interview questions

No formal interview, everything online. I submitted a resume and was invited to take their abstractor assessment. The assessment itself is ridiculous. It’s completely contradictory. They give fake patient records and a set of instructions on what they want you to do with the information. The records are very unrealistic (I have worked in oncology many years- adults and pediatrics, inpatient, outpatient, procedural, and case management; across 5 different hospital systems and 3 major EMR systems. But I digress...) the instructions they give are contradictory and don’t make sense. I’m not an idiot and cannot believe how confusing and frustrating that “test” was. I feel that I dodged a bullet by failing it. I received an automated response 2 days later telling me they would not be moving forward with me.

The assessment they give for the data abstract position is very hard. I worked in oncology for two years and it still stumped me. They were quick to email back though.
