as an example, the winston-salem office had 255 reviews, but only six of those claims that were reviewed were related to quickstart. we found that the method they were using was not sufficient to observe any sort of training deficiencies. the other part of that is, not only at the local and national levels were they not able to have a valid sample that might point to some of these training deficiencies, at the local level, when they did conduct quality reviews, they also did not track those kind of errors so they could address the training deficiencies by tailoring training to those areas. >> one of the reasons given was busy. the part that concerns me is the use of the word training because of what that means for the abilities of an employee to perform. oversight, in one way, is a little less concerning if that is where it is deficient. if training is where it is deficient, that creates a more systemic problem as the cases go up and the number of cases go up, failure in training continues to build upon itself and create a larger problem. i appreciate your answer to the question. thank y
