Verbal orders would also have to be recorded in the plan of care. Reliance on an agency to maintain physician orders in written form patient’s would protect patients by ensuring that the plan of care incorporated all services and treatments ordered by the physician who is responsible for the home health plan of care. If a physician faxed orders or otherwise transmitted them through other electronic methods from their office, those orders would be required to be included in the clinical record and plan of care. Provides an opportunity for an patient’s agency to establish policies defining who is authorized to accept verbal orders. The physicians’ categories of practitioners identified as being authorized to accept verbal orders by the agency physicians’ would be required to be consistent with state requirements. Proposed §484.60(b)(5), requires that verbal orders be authenticated, dated, and timed by the physician according to the internal policies and agency’s applicable state law and regulations. Title 22, section 74701 is much different.
