Description of CME Course
Verbal orders are spoken orders given by a physician or other Licensed Independent Practitioner (LIP) to a person authorized to receive and record them in accordance with applicable policies, laws, and regulations. Most health care systems have their own policies concerning verbal orders, restricting or setting guidelines for their use. Patient quality and safety organizations have cautioned the practice of verbal orders due to concerns about risks they may introduce in some circumstances. Some physicians and health care systems have come to believe that verbal orders are not allowed due to federal health care policy and regulatory agency rules.
