What will be an ideal response?

Missing signatures, reports, and other deficiencies are tagged for completion after discharge and routed sequentially to all parties who need to complete areas, generally in 30-day cycles. In the electronic system, deficiencies are most often tagged concurrent with the encounter and placed in a queue where multiple providers can have access and complete their documentation concurrently.
