Pharmacists can also take orders from physicians.
However I would encourage you to check with your state licensing boards for each discipline before moving forward with an inaccurate assumption. Joan M.

The therapists, PT,OT,ST must be licensed. Assistants cannot take verbal orders. Pat Cornwell Director of Rehab Services Palos Community Hospital -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sharon LaDuke Sent: Saturday, June 23, 2007 8:56 AM To: Meditech L Subject: [MEDITECH-L] who can "take" orders from a physician Other than nurses, what disciplines are allowed to enter a verbal (by which I mean telephone) order in a chart that was issued to them by a physician? I am accustomed to all disciplines being able to take orders, each within its own scope of practice. But I'm working at a facility now that is having a debate about the allied disciplines PT, OT, ST and perhaps RDs as well. I said I would see what I could find out from other places. Thanks.
