I am looking for feedback on documentation for internal consultations.
We are an ophthalmology practice and have consulation request from one physician to another that happen internally.
Since it is a shared medical record does there have to be a written report back the the requesting physician? Would it be appropriate to add a comment on the internal consultation request form that reads "Please refer to the consultant's report in the medical record documentation."?
I think the above is acceptable documentation but would like to know what others think.
TIA
