Hi Everyone,
These days, many PCP's don't do hospital rounds, and rely on hospitalists to visit thier pt's. If a hospitalist asks for a consult, and has no office to speak of for the consultant to send a report to, how does the consultant meet the requirement for a written report? I'm inclined to send the report to the hospital attn: the requesting doc and let them deal with where to put it, and/ or a copy to the PCP. What do you all think, and how are you handling this in your community?
Appreciate your help!
