What is your preferred method of documenting that a patient's cardiologist, neurologist or PCP has cleared them to stop their anticoagulants for an elective Pain procedure?
1-Insist upon the patient bringing written documentation from their doctor that he/she has cleared them?
2-A physician-physician phone call with documentation of the call in the record?
3-Have your nurse/MA call the prescribing doctor's office and document the conversation?
4-Leave it up to the patient to contact their physician and document their verbal report of having been cleared?
