I work in a LTC facility. We have several medical providers that have patients in our care. One in particular literally never sees his patients. Instead he has an LPN who works for him who also works PRN in our facility essentially practicing medicine in his name.
This LPN has access to our medical records at home, and has been known to call staff nurses on their personal cell phone when she knows they are working to ask why orders that “The doctor” entered into the system aren’t done, etc.
My question is would it be considered a conflict of interest for this nurse to be working in our facility and working for this physician at the same time?
