Data Source and Calculation
<p>For all hearing decisions issued by an EDR hearing officer during the fiscal year, calculate the number of days between close of the evidentiary record (generally date of hearing) and the issuance date of the resulting hearing decision. Exception: documented extensions for good cause or delays due to events over which the hearing officer has no control, such as serious illness or death, will not count toward the 20 day period. Percentage is derived from the total number of hearings issued within 20 calendar days divided by the total number of hearings issued. Source: EDR hearings database. Measuring turnaround time from the close of the evidentiary record is consistent with regulatory "time to disposition" standards for other similar administrative proceedings, e.g., Virginia Administrative Process Act hearings (90 days from the date of hearing); North Carolina grievance hearings (45 days from the close of the hearing record); West Virginia grievance hearings (30 days from date of hearing); South Carolina grievance hearings (20 days from conclusion of hearing).</p>

EDR saw a slight increase (less than 2+) in the total number of hearings in fiscal year 2014, with a total of 191 hearings held with decisions issued. The average turnaround time for all hearing officers improved slightly in FY2014 to just under 13 days, leading to only 84+ of cases being decided within the 20-day target.
