Hello team-
We have a local RN who is adamant she can now order diagnostic imaging without a physician's signature or oversight, claiming this is allowed under the Cares Act. I do so see verbiage in the CARES act allowing more responsibility for RNs in the Home Health Care arena but have not actually found the verbiage allowing this extender provision for diagnostic imaging order situations. Does anyone have the answer to this question?
Thanks for your help!
