How timely is your practice to sign off on chart entries and make all of your dictations current? Have you ever been suspended from a staff for failure to do these?

"Although I've been occasionally remiss in keeping all signoffs and dictations current, I feel it is important for me to be diligent in keeping current. It is not lost on me how reimbursement by third-party payors can be affected by incomplete charts; just as important--to me--is the need for accuracy and trying to remember specifics from a procedure or rounds can become spotty if too much time has passed. For these reasons, I agree that keeping current is important and strive to do that."
