Physicians have an obligation to support continuity of care for their patients While physicians have the option of withdrawing from a case they cannot do so without giving notice to the patient the relatives or responsible friends sufficiently long in advance of withdrawal to permit another medical attendant to be secured

Proper documentation is essential A doctors dismissal of a patient can be appropriate if there are multiple well-documented and clearly understood attempts by the doctor to discuss the issue with the patient as well as attempts to rectify the situation

Proper documentation is essential A doctors dismissal of a patient can be appropriate if there are multiple well-documented and clearly understood attempts by the doctor to discuss the issue with the patient as well as attempts to rectify the situation

Physicians have an obligation to support continuity of care for their patients While physicians have the option of withdrawing from a case they cannot do so without giving notice to the patient the relatives or responsible friends sufficiently long in advance of withdrawal to permit another medical attendant to be secured

Proper documentation is essential A doctors dismissal of a patient can be appropriate if there are multiple well-documented and clearly understood attempts by the doctor to discuss the issue with the patient as well as attempts to rectify the situation

3 The Medical and Dental Directors will determine whether to recommend continuation or termination of care at Lake City Area Medical Center or Dental Clinic respectively

3 The Medical and Dental Directors will determine whether to recommend continuation or termination of care at Lake City Area Medical Center or Dental Clinic respectively

Physicians have an obligation to support continuity of care for their patients While physicians have the option of withdrawing from a case they cannot do so without giving notice to the patient the relatives or responsible friends sufficiently long in advance of withdrawal to permit another medical attendant to be secured

Proper documentation is essential A doctors dismissal of a patient can be appropriate if there are multiple well-documented and clearly understood attempts by the doctor to discuss the issue with the patient as well as attempts to rectify the situation

Statement of Policy The lake Fork Health Service District interprets 42CFR49L7(b)(2) to include written policies that consist of administrative policies that cover topics including patient registration The District shall maintain a streamlined process for the termination of patient care should such termination be warranted

3 The Medical and Dental Directors will determine whether to recommend continuation or termination of care at Lake City Area Medical Center or Dental Clinic respectively

4 A recommendation for termination of care would be reviewed by a representative of the Lake Fork Health Service District Board before implementation of termination of care proceedings

5 Termination of Care Procedure

Physicians have an obligation to support continuity of care for their patients While physicians have the option of withdrawing from a case they cannot do so without giving notice to the patient the relatives or responsible friends sufficiently long in advance of withdrawal to permit another medical attendant to be secured

Proper documentation is essential A doctors dismissal of a patient can be appropriate if there are multiple well-documented and clearly understood attempts by the doctor to discuss the issue with the patient as well as attempts to rectify the situation

Purpose 42CFR49L7(b)(2 requires that this organizations policies and its lines of authority and responsibilities are clearly set forth in writing

Also according to the American Medical Association (AMA) abandonment is defined as the termination of a professional relationship between physician and patient at an unreasonable time and without giving the patient the chance to find an equally qualified replacement

Physicians have an obligation to support continuity of care for their patients While physicians have the option of withdrawing from a case they cannot do so without giving notice to the patient the relatives or responsible friends sufficiently long in advance of withdrawal to permit another medical attendant to be secured

Proper documentation is essential A doctors dismissal of a patient can be appropriate if there are multiple well-documented and clearly understood attempts by the doctor to discuss the issue with the patient as well as attempts to rectify the situation

Statement of Policy The lake Fork Health Service District interprets 42CFR49L7(b)(2) to include written policies that consist of administrative policies that cover topics including patient registration The District shall maintain a streamlined process for the termination of patient care should such termination be warranted

The following steps shall be taken when terminating care for a patient

bull Give the patient written notice preferably by certified mail return receipt requested

bull Provide the patient with a brief explanation for terminating the relationship (eg non-compliance failure to keep appointments)

bull Agree to continue to provide treatment and access to services for a reasonable period of time (30 days unless agreed otherwise) to allow a patient to secure care from another physician The period may be extended at the discretion ofthe Medical or Dental Director for emergency services

bull Provide resources andor recommendations to help a patient locate another physician of like specialty

bull Offer to transfer records to a newly-designated physician upon signed patient authorization to do so

Written documentation recording the doctors dismissal of a patient and the steps taken above shall be kept in the patient file

A Provider cannot terminate care of a patient on the basis of his or her gender race religion or sexual preference

Law enforcement shall be called immediately for any event involving the brandishing of a gun knife or other weapon or at the discretion of the provider on duty for situations deemed by senior staff on site as presenting a danger to staff volunteers patients or other occupants

Procedure 1 If a patient becomes violent physically or verbally abusive or threatening to clinic staff or other

occupants they may be asked to leave the premises Failure to comply will result in law enforcement being called That behavior would warrant beginning the process of termination of care by providers at the clinic

2 Any staff person encountering an individual using abusive andor offensive language during a telephone conversation is not expected to continue the conversation If the individual calls again the staff person is instructed to direct that call to the Provider on duty

3 The Medical and Dental Directors will determine whether to recommend continuation or termination of care at Lake City Area Medical Center or Dental Clinic respectively

4 A recommendation for termination of care would be reviewed by a representative of the Lake Fork Health Service District Board before implementation of termination of care proceedings

5 Termination of Care Procedure

a A letter by Certified Mail (with delivery receipt) shall be sent to the patient b That letter shall contain several components

1 Notify the patient of the reasons for this action by the District i1 Agree to continue provision of care for 30 days the purpose is to allow time for

the patient to secure care from another source iii Offer to provide resources andor recommendations to help locate another

appropriate source of care iv Offer to transfer records to the new care source once the patient signs

Patients are asked to check-in with the receptionist when they arrive and every effort is made to see patients near their appointment times and added patients in the order of check-in

10 This clinic must also serve as an UrgentEmergent Care facility those patients may require such attention as to cause cancellation rescheduling of all other appointments for a period of time

11 Appointments are normally made by the receptionist they can be made by anyone able to follow proper procedure

12 If a patient must be added to a full schedule consult the clinical team to determine the best time and what to tell the patient

13 The receptionist should advise all work-in patients that they will be worked into the appointment schedule The receptionist should further advise the patient of the approximate time they will be seen by the Medical Provider

14 New patients are asked to arrive at the clinic thirty minutes before their appointment time in order to complete the necessary forms These visits typically take longer (the provider needs to familiarize themselves with more historical information)

Also according to the American Medical Association (AMA) abandonment is defined as the termination of a professional relationship between physician and patient at an unreasonable time and without giving the patient the chance to find an equally qualified replacement

Physicians have an obligation to support continuity of care for their patients While physicians have the option of withdrawing from a case they cannot do so without giving notice to the patient the relatives or responsible friends sufficiently long in advance of withdrawal to permit another medical attendant to be secured

Proper documentation is essential A doctors dismissal of a patient can be appropriate if there are multiple well-documented and clearly understood attempts by the doctor to discuss the issue with the patient as well as attempts to rectify the situation

Statement of Policy The lake Fork Health Service District interprets 42CFR49L7(b)(2) to include written policies that consist of administrative policies that cover topics including patient registration The District shall maintain a streamlined process for the termination of patient care should such termination be warranted

3 The Medical and Dental Directors will determine whether to recommend continuation or termination of care at Lake City Area Medical Center or Dental Clinic respectively

4 A recommendation for termination of care would be reviewed by a representative of the Lake Fork Health Service District Board before implementation of termination of care proceedings

5 Termination of Care Procedure

a A letter by Certified Mail (with delivery receipt) shall be sent to the patient b That letter shall contain several components

1 Notify the patient of the reasons for this action by the District i1 Agree to continue provision of care for 30 days the purpose is to allow time for

the patient to secure care from another source iii Offer to provide resources andor recommendations to help locate another

appropriate source of care iv Offer to transfer records to the new care source once the patient signs

authorization to send those records

Also according to the American Medical Association (AMA) abandonment is defined as the termination of a professional relationship between physician and patient at an unreasonable time and without giving the patient the chance to find an equally qualified replacement

Physicians have an obligation to support continuity of care for their patients While physicians have the option of withdrawing from a case they cannot do so without giving notice to the patient the relatives or responsible friends sufficiently long in advance of withdrawal to permit another medical attendant to be secured

Proper documentation is essential A doctors dismissal of a patient can be appropriate if there are multiple well-documented and clearly understood attempts by the doctor to discuss the issue with the patient as well as attempts to rectify the situation

Statement of Policy The lake Fork Health Service District interprets 42CFR49L7(b)(2) to include written policies that consist of administrative policies that cover topics including patient registration The District shall maintain a streamlined process for the termination of patient care should such termination be warranted

The following steps shall be taken when terminating care for a patient

bull Give the patient written notice preferably by certified mail return receipt requested

bull Provide the patient with a brief explanation for terminating the relationship (eg non-compliance failure to keep appointments)

bull Provide resources andor recommendations to help a patient locate another physician of like specialty

bull Offer to transfer records to a newly-designated physician upon signed patient authorization to do so

A Provider cannot terminate care of a patient on the basis of his or her gender race religion or sexual preference

Law enforcement shall be called immediately for any event involving the brandishing of a gun knife or other weapon or at the discretion of the provider on duty for situations deemed by senior staff on site as presenting a danger to staff volunteers patients or other occupants

Procedure 1 If a patient becomes violent physically or verbally abusive or threatening to clinic staff or other

occupants they may be asked to leave the premises Failure to comply will result in law enforcement being called That behavior would warrant beginning the process of termination of care by providers at the clinic

2 Any staff person encountering an individual using abusive andor offensive language during a telephone conversation is not expected to continue the conversation If the individual calls again the staff person is instructed to direct that call to the Provider on duty

3 The Medical and Dental Directors will determine whether to recommend continuation or termination of care at Lake City Area Medical Center or Dental Clinic respectively

4 A recommendation for termination of care would be reviewed by a representative of the Lake Fork Health Service District Board before implementation of termination of care proceedings

5 Termination of Care Procedure

a A letter by Certified Mail (with delivery receipt) shall be sent to the patient b That letter shall contain several components

1 Notify the patient of the reasons for this action by the District i1 Agree to continue provision of care for 30 days the purpose is to allow time for

the patient to secure care from another source iii Offer to provide resources andor recommendations to help locate another

appropriate source of care iv Offer to transfer records to the new care source once the patient signs

authorization to send those records

6 Every aspect of this action shall be well documented in the patient record
