Because a delinquency is a serious matter that could result in suspension of privileges in a facility, OnBase provides the ability to automatically generate letters for physicians or secondary signers who are in danger of having unresolved deficiencies become delinquent. Delinquency letters can also be manually generated as needed.
Each letter indicates the physician's last login date and an outline of outstanding deficiencies that require the physician's attention. Depending on your system's settings, the outline may or may not contain chart information for the outstanding deficiencies.

Depending on your system's settings, letters may not be printed for physicians who are on hold. In some systems, being on hold can exclude the physician from delinquency reports and delinquency letters generated during the hold period. Physician holds can be created in the Medical Records Unity Client.
