![Page 2: Resident Care Powerpoint](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/55498ddbb4c90582588b5566/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Attending Physician
• A generalist or family practitioner in the community
• Patient has the right to choose his or her attending physician
• But, the physician must agree to deliver care and to comply with regulatory standards and the facility’s policies
![Page 3: Resident Care Powerpoint](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/55498ddbb4c90582588b5566/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Unique Aspects of Medical Practice• Physician visits are infrequent, but must comply
with regulatory standards• Nurses render most of the care in accordance with
physicians’ orders• Shared communication and collaboration between
physicians and nurses• Physician is involved in multidisciplinary
teamwork• Referral to specialized services when needed
![Page 4: Resident Care Powerpoint](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/55498ddbb4c90582588b5566/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Medical Director
• Every facility must have one
• A part-time position (2 to 4 hours per week in an average size facility)
• Reports to the administrator
• Key personal traits

Areas of Special Focus in Geriatrics - 1
• Comorbidities• Complications resulting from chronic diseases• Negative drug interactions• Response to treatment may vary from that in
younger patients• Separating treatable symptoms from changes that
commonly accompany aging

Separation of Functions
The consulting role of the medical director must be separate from his or her practice as the attending physician even though the latter provides important insights into patient care
![Page 8: Resident Care Powerpoint](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/55498ddbb4c90582588b5566/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Anti-kickback Legislation
• Prohibits gifts or favors in exchange for patient referrals (see p. 143)
• Particularly when the medical director attends to a large number of patients in the facility, patient referrals by the facility may be construed as a favor in exchange for consultancy fees

![Page 14: Resident Care Powerpoint](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/55498ddbb4c90582588b5566/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
RAI
Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI)– Minimum Data Set (MDS)– Resident Assessment Protocols (RAPs)– Utilization Guidelines
![Page 15: Resident Care Powerpoint](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/55498ddbb4c90582588b5566/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
MDS
• Focuses on a core set of screening, clinical, and functional status elements
• Triggers = risk factors
Revealed during the assessment process
• Triggers call for additional review and assessment using RAPs
