This is somewhat analogous to the Texas rules regarding epilepsy, where a physician is also not obligated to report the patient’s inability to drive to the state authorities<\/p>\n\n\n\n abortion in texas 2nd trimester abortions can be limited depending on how many republicans there are in the state legislature<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3rd trimester abortions are only perimissible to prevent the death or serious physical\/mental impairment of the mother, for a nonviable fetus, or for a fetus with a severe abnormality<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unemancipated minors \/ abortion Two exceptions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minor is granted a notification waiver by a judge via court petition This is particularly applicable if there is concern that the notification will result in harm\/abuse<\/p>\n\n\n\n Patient rights Make Informed Decisions<\/p>\n\n\n\n Request or refuse treatment<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make advance directives<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have privacy<\/p>\n\n\n\n Confidential records<\/p>\n\n\n\n HIPAA The patient and any doctors, nurses, or other healthcare providers directly involved in the patient’s care<\/p>\n\n\n\n Family members only with permission<\/p>\n\n\n\n Patients have the right to know to whom their PHI has been disclosed<\/p>\n\n\n\n Penalizations\/fines for unauthorized disclosures<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exceptions to HIPAA Patient privacy (physician-patient privelege) is waived in the case of criminal proceedings (with the exception of mental health records, which require a court ruling: mental health records are always special)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Billing records are not part of the medical record<\/p>\n\n\n\n If a patient sues you, they waive confidentiality (which is obvious if you think about it)<\/p>\n\n\n\n HIV positive results -Spouse<\/p>\n\n\n\n When a patient signs a release of medical records what does it have to include You can charge patients to provide medical records, but you have to supply them within 15 days of a request<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therapeutic privelge: a physician can withhold medical records if s(he) believes that this information would be harmful to the patient; must document in the chart and notify patient; cannot include raw data like radiology films or lab tests. Can only deny for therapeutic privelege, not for nonpayment or other punitive reasons<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keeping charts 7 yrs for minors or until age 21, whichever is longer<\/p>\n\n\n\n See an 8 yr old, keep until 71= 13 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n See a 17 year old, keep until 24<\/p>\n\n\n\n how long must hospitals hold adult inpatient charts To amend a chart\/record\u2026 ANy additions must be clearly marked as an addendum (you can doctor your patients but not your charts)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Advance directives Revoking is easy. All a patient has to do to revoke an AD is say never mind<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two witnesses are required to make an advance directive; one of which must have no vested interest (not a relative and not involved in the patient’s medical care)”. Advance directives can be given verbally to a physician as long as they fulfill the witness requirements are are subsequently documents. Notary services (for once) are not required<\/p>\n\n\n\n While you have the capacity for medical decision making to make an advance directive, you can always revoke one regardless of your mental status. Yes, a patient can undo their AD while delirious<\/p>\n\n\n\n “two doc consent”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Life sustaining treatment includes ventilation support, life sustaining medications, dialysis, artifical nutrition and hydration<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not complying with regulations for birth or death certificate Must report death from communicable diseases organ donation- order of consent The person who determines death cannot participate in organ procurement or transplantation (that would be an obvious conflict of interest)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Assisted suicide? duty to report child abuse or negligence Class B misdemeanor for failure to report (state jail felony for making a malicious report)<\/p>\n\n\n\n No parental consent is required to examine a child in the context of suspected abuse\/neglect<\/p>\n\n\n\n elder abuse\/ exploitation Class B misdemeanor for spuriously malicious reports ( class A if the patient is in a nursing home)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sexual abuse of a nursing home patient is a 2nd degree felony<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reporting spousal abuse is not mandatory (but you must document, provide care and offer resources\/nearby shelters)<\/p>\n\n\n\n STDs and important\/ communicable diseases TB pertussis 1 day<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otherwise 7 days (gonorrhea, syphilis)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Disease prevention trumps privacy (spouse needs to know about HIV right?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tarasoff ruling Schedule I Examples: heroin, LSD, ecstasy, marijuana<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, despite medical marijuana being a thing in multiple states and even recreational legalization sweeping the nation, marijuana is still a schedule I substance at the federal level<\/p>\n\n\n\n Schedule II Examples: COCAINE, most opiated (including morphine, dilaudid, fentanyl, hydrocodone), most stimulants (including adderall, ritalin, amphetamines (including meth!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: hydrocodone (vicodin, norco, etc) was moved to schedule II in 2015<\/p>\n\n\n\n Schedule II Rx cannot be refilled. Can not be prescribed electronically but patients historically had to physically come see you to get an Rx<\/p>\n\n\n\n Require official schedule II prescription forms (previously “triplicate”) can now be done online<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rx must be filled within 21 days or void<\/p>\n\n\n\n Up to 3 30 day rx can be written per patient visit (for a total 90 day supply), each rx with its own fill by date<\/p>\n\n\n\n schedule III examples: things with codeine (tylenol #3), ketamine, anabolic steroids, testosterone<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prior to 2015, hydrocodone was schedule III. Now that it’s schedule II, codeine painkillers are making a comeback<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scheduel IV Examples: muscle relaxers like soma, Z drug sleep meds like ambien, all benzodiazepines (xanax, ativan), tramadol, modafinil<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes per the dea, forget xanax, patients should really be knocking down your door for testosterone<\/p>\n\n\n\n It really does seem odd that many of the most notorosiously abused and addictive drugs are actually this down on the list<\/p>\n\n\n\n Schedule V prescribing scheduled drugs DEA numbers must be renewed every 3 years. Texas used to have their own parallel system requiring a “DPS” number, but thi swas elimingated on September 1 2016<\/p>\n\n\n\n No one can write for schedule I drugs, because schedule I drugs hav no accepted medical use (including marijuana (in Texas))<\/p>\n\n\n\n schedule II is classivcally by triplicate now mostly electronic. Only physicians can prescribe schedule II drugs for typicaly outpatients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n when can midlevels prescribe schedule II drugs Schedules III-V can be prescribed by both physicians and midlevels<\/p>\n\n\n\n when can a physician phone in a schedule II rx Again schedule II prescriptions must be filled within 21 dys and cannot have refills<\/p>\n\n\n\n Schedule III\/IV can only be refilled up to 5 times and are void after 6 months<\/p>\n\n\n\n To prevent tampering, prescriptions for scheduled drugs must contain the number of pills to be dispensed first numerically followed by the number written as a word (like acheck)<\/p>\n\n\n\n if a pharmacist can’t find you to refill a patient’s schedule III\/IV medication (e.g. their xanax) they can disepsne a _<\/em> T\/F any one can dispense methadone or prescribe\/dispense buprenorphine (suboxone) for opiod dependency treatment any designanted person can phone in prescriptions for non-controlled substances on behalf of a physician (this is a type of delegated medical act) when can doctors function as a pharmacy In this situation, a physician can buy, rebottle, and dispense medications at cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n LLC PPO HMO physicians cant have their priveleges restricted due to an HMO association<\/p>\n\n\n\n HMO can’t pay incentive fees to docs to make them spend less money\/limit patient care<\/p>\n\n\n\n No kickbacks applies to all insurers, not just medicare and medicaid<\/p>\n\n\n\n you can’t pay people (or give them things) for referring patients to you<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otherwise, bob the surgeon would pay the family docs who refer him patients a finder’s fee<\/p>\n\n\n\n stark law Stark I applies to laboratories. Stark II applied to everything else, including ancillary services such as PT\/OT<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is what prevents a radiologist from ordering a scan for a patient’s follow up; the radiologist benefits financially from the repeat scan (i.e. is referring thepatient to himself)<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result, clinicians should be careful when ordering lab tests on patients when they also have a financial interest in their own laboratory or imaging services<\/p>\n\n\n\n barratry False advertising can cost you your license -Cannot use the term “board eligible” Healing arts identification act<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can advertise cost (the actual cost, not just the portion a patient with insurance is likely to pay)<\/p>\n\n\n\n No copay\/deductible waiving (you aren’t an autobody shop)<\/p>\n\n\n\n No testimonials<\/p>\n\n\n\n Claims must be verifibale<\/p>\n\n\n\n how many hours of self study CME days to tell board you changed your practice phone number can\/cannot call yourself misconduct sexual violation impropriety definition of practice schedule I drugs- used in practice? max penalty for amping foot requirements for license ad requirements trade names how many hours of CME when do you submit CME how many hours of ethics CME per year Ethics in the Delivery of Health Care Service; or what do you provide when someone wants to make a complaint to board for what purpose can you sell patient info how many days to give copies of records to patients max penalty fine pod rad tech how much training for HBO cert universal precautions how are blood borne pathogens spread delegation Can be properly & safely performed by the person to whom the medical act is delegated; peer reviewed journal article counts as _<\/em>. do does giving.a lecture at a conference how frequently license renewed when changing inactive license back to active who regulates the licenses something about what happens when someone declines their psych eval after a sexual misconduct\/impropriety charge what gives authority to board bunion consent needing _<\/em> what is written on a schedule II scripts?

According to the American National Red Cross: “Bloodborne pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, are present in blood and body fluids and can cause disease in humans. The bloodborne pathogens of primary concern are hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. These and other bloodborne pathogens are spread primarily through:
Direct contact. Infected blood or body fluid from one person enters another person’s body at a correct entry site, such as infected blood splashing in the eye.
Indirect contact. A person’s skin touches an object that contains the blood or body fluid of an infected person, such as picking up soiled dressings contaminated with an infected person’s blood or body fluid.
Respiratory droplet transmission. A person inhales droplets from an infected person, such as through a cough or sneeze.
Vector-borne transmission. A person’s skin is penetrated by an infectious source, such as an insect bite.
Follow standard precautions to help prevent the spread of bloodborne pathogens and other diseases whenever there is a risk of exposure to blood or other body fluids. These precautions require that all blood and other body fluids be treated as if they are infectious. Standard precautions include maintaining personal hygiene and using personal protective equipment (PPE), engineering controls, work practice controls, and proper equipment cleaning and spill cleanup procedures.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
