Guest guest Posted July 19, 1998 Report Share Posted July 19, 1998 Greetings, We have just completed a JCAHO survey and Rehab got a " gold star " , except that the issue of accepting non-staff physician orders came up. Apparently, unbeknownst to me, JCAHO requires hospital-based PTs to accept ONLY orders from privileged staff docs despite " open practice " in Minnesota (this is unique to *hospital-based* departments). Our policy, approved by our medical staff, is that in-state orders are accepted within 6 months of writing (State law is 12 months). We are a very small, rural facility without a physiatrist. (We ended up not getting cited but will likely be told to correct this for the next survey ... ) Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance. Mark -- Mark R Eliason, PT meliason@...
