Ok so a patient is admitted to the SNF unit with orders for PT and OT 5-7
days a week.
The evaluation is done and the therapist now has to call the MD and
"clarify" that OT (or PT) will be seeing the patient 5-7x/wk for the
following problems using the following approaches.
then a "clarifying order" has to go in the chart stating this and be signed
by the doctor (resulting in two therapy orders now in the chart). This is a
new practice where I work (US state of Maine)and I was wondering if anyone
knows the origin/purpose/whether this is reall necessary....etc. can anyone
shed any light on this?
