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
