Reviewing a random sample of each employee's work monthly would be the most effective approach to monitor accuracy of coding. This allows for a consistent review of each employee's work and ensures that all employees are held to the same standard. Reviewing a sample regularly also catches errors before they become a problem and allows for timely feedback and training if necessary. Performing a 100% review of one employee's work daily would be too time-consuming and could lead to burnout or potential errors. Reviewing a sample only annually would not allow for timely feedback and could lead to a build-up of errors. Having employees check each other's work and report problems to the supervisor could create a culture of distrust and may not catch all errors consistently.
