I was wondering if you knew the answer to a protocol question? If you are in independent practice, what does your protocol say? Is it different than the one I posted on my site? Is the doctor still responsible for oversight in your practice or are they just responsible for co-signing your charts. What legality does that entail for the doctor? Sorry so many questions!

I'm in a state where we don't have protocols, nor are we required to have charts co-signed - we are independent, so I don't know if I can adequately answer the questions. As far as protocols, I'd think that they would be the same regardless if you have oversite or not. The way I see it, protocols are a guideline for practice, not a be-all-end-all-recipe for practice. If I remember correctly, you are in Florida. Check with your board regarding your practice act and state requirements for signatures and oversight. Perhaps someone who is familiar with Florida can chime in here. Barbara Those are good questions, and the easy answer is it depends.
