Good Morning Yvonne: Thank you for the information. I appreciate anything I can learn about PM 160s. As we discussed during the meeting last month, I do not enter comments regarding the health reasons for the referral because I do not have the expertise of the nurses understanding how a particular referral or diagnosis fit the different classifications. For example, does a referral to ear, nose, and throat indicate a congenital condition, other health conditions, or allergies? Quick question, my notes from last year say 5% or less for referral; has the percentage changed to 6%? Happy Monday,
Legally and ethically under Informed consent a patient has the right to refuse specialty treatment or referral but needs to be informed about the risks involved with delay or lack of the specific treatment recommended. Mostly, if the patient does agree to visit the specialist then, the specialist is responsible for the informed consent for the specific treatment. But is has been contested and help in courts that the primary care physician still is responsible for the patients welfare in all phases of treatment. For a provider in a busy practice it is difficult to keep track of all the referrals and at times, the specialist’s office has a different outlook on the matter.
Different retailing businesses have very different distribution methods based on the types of product that they sell, some arguably more effectively than others.
There has been a change due to my medical conditions that were not listed on my review form I'm writing you because I am concerned about some things and I would like if you could review my case. The last time I saw Dr. Anderson B. Funke was on October 26th, 2016 due to chest pains with back pain also, a referral to a new Dr. at Internal Medicine Greenwood Dr. Funke had to leave because his wife was ill therefore my appointment had to be rescheduled to February 27, then my appointment was canceled again.
When the referral is received from a physician outside the healthcare provider’s network, paper medical records relating to the health issue are requested, including office notes and test results. After the patient’s paper medical records are received by the scheduling office, the scheduler manually reviews the records for the diagnosis and reason for the referral to determine how to appropriately schedule the office visit. For example, if the patient recently suffered a stroke, the patient would be scheduled with a stroke specialist rather than a general neurologist.

The case stated that the decedent complained of epistaxis, anosmia, diurnal pain located in the frontal region of the head in addition to trouble breathing, which was not described in the decedent’s chart. All healthcare professionals have a duty to generate and keep a detailed, relevant, timely, and factual record regarding patient care and treatment (Rudolph, 2013). Furthermore, in a malpractice case, injudicious, inaccurate or incomplete charting can be damaging in a court of law; therefore, good documentation can be a vital defense (NSO, n.d.). According to the Nurses Service Organization (NSO) (n.d.), it is important for Advance Practice Nurses to include in their documentation the nursing process, differential diagnosis, and their professional capabilities. The NSO also recommends that the Advance Practice Nurse chart if a patient's medical complaint does not improve as foreseen in spite of the outlined plan of care for the disease or disorder; therefore, the diagnosis must be
