This type of suspension is not a 'hard' suspension, per se: it doesn't mean there are any deficiencies in your medical care or expertise. Most physicians get a little behind from time to time, the only thing lighting a fire under them to get these clerical loose ends tied up being suspension. However, although this is frowned upon but not necessarily condemned, it does impact the hospital or group's bottom line, so the question is one of fiscal importance.

"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."
