If an ER physician see's a patient and does a procedure while the patient is in the ER and documents a separate procedure note, does the procedure note need to clearly indicate who the performing provider is, or is the signature of the entire note enough..
I see that within the note they are referencing the procedure done and indicating to look at the separate procedure note. The MD is stating that the ER physician who see's the patient is always the one who does the procedure but i just want to be clear if the procedure note itself should indicate who the performing provider is?
Thank you
