She makes so much money per minute, why does she not pay for a note taker to be by her side all day taking notes, allowing her to see more patients?
That's sort-of what a NP is, but without the doctor in the room and only if she were reviewing their notes after.
(I know some doctors who this is a sensitive subject so I haven't asked them yet).
- SkyPuncher 2y agoNotes are kind of a poor term for what these documents actually are. To the lay person, notes are what you take during a meeting or lecture. A sort a annotation of what happened. Notes in medicine are essentially a treatment plan that includes justification and context for that treatment plan. It's essentially the physician's thinking on how they're treating a patient. A lot of patient care centered specialties (as opposed to surgery or technical specialties, like radiology) are seeing a shift towards NP and PAs. The physician will be legally responsible for the actions of one or more NPs. They'll review their work and ensure their plans are correct.
