Ftag of the Week Reference
483.30 — Physician Services (F710–F715)
The Physician Services regulatory group sets out how physicians are involved in each resident’s care — supervising medical care, making required visits, being available for emergencies, and delegating certain tasks to non-physician practitioners, dietitians and therapists. Surveyors turn to these regulations when a resident’s medical care appears delayed, unsupervised or undocumented.
