Question of the Week

Question:

We have questions. Lots of them. About everything from nurses (and physicians) taking photos of patients on their smart phones, to credentialing locum tenens physicians, to how to go about designing policies for collaboration among  physicians, advanced practice nurses and physicians’ assistants for team-based care.

Where do we get answers?

Answer:

These are among the most common questions we get from clients! Lucky for you, we have answers. Some short answers: taking photos of patients with your smart phone carries a lot of risk, credentialing locum tenens physicians should only be done in very specific circumstances, and a good starting point for addressing the roles of Advanced Practice Clinicians can be a multi-disciplinary work group led by physicians experienced in supervision and collaborative practice.
