RA’PA’s NPs interpreting radiology studies
I am going to present a talk at a state radiologic society in a month. Topic is midlevel incursion.
This is a request for information
I know there are indications – something a little more than rumors, but still poorly documented – that some facilities are having PAs or NPs read radiology studies. Fortunately these cases are still hard to find. IF they were as prevalent as cases of midlevels staffing ICUs, etc, then the fight would be over. We have the opportunity to stop it now before it becomes a lost cause.
Is anyone aware of these situations. (right here, I will say that the difference between a PA reading the case him/her self and giving a preliminary that the Rad signs off on is a fine, blurred line.) Any information you can give me about this will be welcome.
If you have actual documentation of this – in the form of screen captures, etc. That would be golden.
Also – I am aware the Proscan suit died. I will be trying to contact the principles in that issue, but if anyone knows anything more than was on the prior thread, hey, send it along.
Obviously PM me if you like. I guarantee anonymity.
