Coder Accuracy Standard
Our coder's standard is >95% accuracy......with an expectation of 20 charts a day (adjustments for training, etc.).

I have had this come up occasionally. I equate it to scenarios when I worked in surgery. Sometimes the scrub or myself wanted to do an extra count just to feel safe. Our coders have to maintain >90% accuracy. I can only imagine the pressure they are under. I will always have the surgery team mentality and I want them to feel comfortable at the end of the day. If it makes them sleep better, ok

Has anyone HAD to query even though you could not justify the query in our own mind? You give the detailed information regarding why no query was done while the pt was in house but you are told to query post discharge.
I have to do it but I was just wondering how often it happens at other facilities.
