using LPN in clinical office

Published

We are installing an EHR and running into many issues with the job duties of LPN's. BTW our facility is located in Pa.

I have reviewed the state scope of practice, it can be a little obtuse.....

Can a LPN receive the patient's test results for review and decide what resutls are normal and abnormal then send only the abnormals to the provider? Currently there are no standars of practice to cover this.

thanks

Place a telephone call to the Pennsylvania Board of Nursing so you can obtain a definitive answer to this important issue. They are the ones with the final answer. Good luck to you.
