I have never heard of this, but a practice is allowing one physician to dictate the operative report for another physician. They were both in the room and participated in the surgery. I am getting the rationale that it is no different than a resident dictating the report. The dictating physician is the assistant and they are dictating for the primary surgeon. Both are from the same practice. I always thought that the primary surgeon needs to dictate.
Can someone please let me know if this is allowed??/????
Thanks!
