RE: [MARKETING] [EXTERNAL] Giving proper credit
When my original responder doesn't respond even if another Hospitalist documents it, I will mark the query abandoned. They only get credit if they respond to their own query. No response, no credit.
We still get the documentation, but providers need to be held accountable for their own documentation and response to queries directed at their documentation.
