Review, consider <strong>and</strong>/or act upon consultant recommendations that affect the<br />

facility‘s resident care policies <strong>and</strong> procedures or the care <strong>of</strong> an individual<br />

resident, when appropriate;<br />

Discuss <strong>and</strong> intervene (as appropriate) with the health care practitioner about<br />

medical care that is inconsistent with applicable current st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>of</strong> care; or<br />

Assure that a system exists to monitor the performance <strong>and</strong> practices <strong>of</strong> the health<br />

care practitioners.<br />

This does not presume that a facility‘s noncompliance with the requirements for the<br />

delivery <strong>of</strong> care necessarily reflects on the performance <strong>of</strong> the medical director.
