What does your employer's written policy say? What does your state regulating agency say? IF you know that MAs in your state can legally accept and record new orders from physicians, I would do what you said by making it very clear that he is the one ordering, but YOU are the one signing.Įxample: Verbal order from Dr. I've never worked in a place where MAs are permitted to accept or record any new orders, so I don't know the legality/general acceptance of the practice. Stop this practice before the bus runs you over!Īs nurses, we can document RBVO(read back verbal order) or RBTO (read back telephone order) by Dr. If one thing goes wrong with a patient on an order you've signed AS the physician by means of forgery, that doctor will throw you under a bus so fast. You could face more than the loss of your MA certification if things go wrong- significant jail time and fines. Signing another person's name and physician title is forgery and criminal, even if the person told you it's OK, even if your employer tells you OK. I don't know were to look for actual information on this so I am hoping someone can help. Should I sign my name even if it says 'physician signature'? I was told by another MA that it was fine if I signed the physicians signature and then initialed, dated and timed the signature as well. I am just nervous about the actual act in me signing the order with the physicians signature. I always check to ensure that the most recent notes or documentation does NOT order them to d/c the med or service and I always ask for clarification if I am unsure. The things being signed are renewals, refills (non-controlled only- inhalers, diuretics, etc). The things being signed are directly ordered by the physician and is documented as so in office notes or from previous orders. I want to make it known that I am NEVER actually giving the orders. It's always been in the back of my mind that It isn't how things should go. I was directed to continue this practice. The previous MA had been signing all of these with expressed permission and desire for her to do so by the physician himself. The physician is the only one in the region which means we have tons of patients and tons of order, DWO's, etc.
