(ii) The medical officer, the principal physician, the surgeon and the medical assistant shall conduct a medical record verification meeting at least once a month for at least 10 months of the year. (2) The countersignment and the date of all care have been drawn up by the medical assistant within thirty (30) days, that the care has been provided by the medical assistant; The provisions relating to the supply or ordering of medicines and equipment by the PA have also changed considerably. The revisions to Section 3502.1 replace the previous complex requirements and now require the PA to count or order a drug in accordance with the Practice Agreement and in accordance with the PA`s training or clinical competence. The practice agreement must indicate which PA or PAHs are authorized to supply a drug or device; under what circumstances; the extent of medical surveillance; and the method of periodic verification of pa competence (including peer review). PAs, physicians, health organizations and medical groups should also review their current practices and consider whether adopting new practice agreements would benefit their organizations and patient care. Prior to these changes, physicians and PAs had to enter into the „delegation of service agreements,“ specific to the delegated medical services that an APP could provide. If several doctors monitored the PA – for example in a group practice or in a hospital – each had to either sign the delegation of services agreement or establish another one. . .
