What I have seen is that the numbers drop 5% for each additional task assigned beyond review, queries and follow up. This is what I have from the ACDIS Forms and Tools Library a few years back:



100% Electronic Record


Experience Level of Reviewer


Total # Charts Reviews/Day (new and subsequent reviews)


Up to 1 Month


*2-5


2-6 Months


*6-8


7-9 Months


*9-13


10-12 Months


*14-18


> 1 Year


*19-28


Note: Estimates based on health record reviews for diagnosis/procedure clarification only


For each additional review responsibility*, subtract 5% from estimates


* Core Measures


* Present on Admission


* Medical Necessity


* Severity of Illness/Risk of Mortality
