The Pause Delinquency Status Calculation During Physician Hold Time option controls whether a physician's deficiencies continue to age while the physician is on hold.
If this option is selected:
-
A physician's deficiencies do not age while the physician is on hold.
-
When the hold period ends, the deficiencies are the same age as when the hold began.
For example, if a physician's deficiencies are a week old when a physician is put on hold, and the hold ends a week later, then the physician's deficiencies are still considered only a week old.
If this option is not selected, the physician's deficiencies continue to age while the physician is on hold. For example, if a physician's deficiencies are a week old when a physician is put on hold, then the deficiencies continue to get older during the hold period. When the hold ends a week later, the physician's deficiencies are considered two weeks old.
