Our system-wide average delinquency rate is 1%. We are a 9-hospital system with our largest hospital being 700+ beds. We centralized deficiency and delinquency management within the corporate HIM department a few years ago and have experienced wonderful results!

I always think of it as delinquent means the record is past due to be completed.  Typically defined in your bylaws/rules and reg.

Correct. I was curious of those who responded with their average rates how many days per their rules/regs,bylaws,policies they considered a record delinquent in order to do some comparisons.

Does anyone include outpatients (other than OBS and ambulatory surgical) in their rate calculations?
