Yet courts do not hold advanced practice nurses to the same standard of care as a physician. Rather they are held to a nursing standard of care. Patients should not have different outcome expectations when they are not given the opportunity to see a physician. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6151c56b2f529164d72dd186/85a375c1-ba68-4714-843c-037395fb5cb8/FB_IMG_1545101657230+edit.jpg Home - Our Goal Our goal is to pass legislation that will promote patient safety in Texas, and to ensure every patient has the opportunity to see a physician in the healthcare setting. We advocate for transparency laws that will: require all healthcare providers to clearly identify their qualifications and profession as nursing, physician assistant, or MD/DO. The use of the title “doctor” in a clinical setting should be restricted to those with an MD or DO degree. Use of this terminology by other professions is confusing to the public. All healthcare facilities employing nonphysician providers should clearly post signs indicating the name of the physician responsible for the care being given, and whether that physician is onsite. This same information should be made available on webpages and other advertising materials. All Urgent care and emergency rooms should clearly post whether there is a physician on-site.

It’s okay to ask. In our quest for transparency, we seek that physicians and NPPs should wear name tags delineating their training and credentials. You have the right to know! https://txphysiciansforpatients.com/donate daily 0.75 2024-12-09
