Terminating Care Properly
Captions available
The idea
Terminating care follows a written process, governed by state rules and the practice's policy.
In practice
Common elements include a written notice, continued emergency care and medications for a period, often thirty days as a guideline, and an offer to transfer records with the patient's authorization.
Where people slip
Some states set specific requirements, such as certified mail; follow your state's rules exactly.
