Notes

An incomplete finding: Virginia's nursing facility regulation requires each facility's written policies to address 'medical direction and physician services' (12VAC5-371-140.D.3), but the section spelling out a named medical director role, qualifications and duties is not identified here, and no equivalent appears for assisted living (22VAC40-73), also covered by this practice type. Confirm before relying on more than the existence of a medical-direction requirement.
