The State Medical Board of Ohio (SMBO) has filed proposed physician assistant (PA) rules that set the content and frequency requirements for a supervising physician’s review of the PA’s practice. The rules have been filed with the Common Sense Initiative Office with the required Business Impact Analysis.
The Business Impact Analysis and proposed rules are available on the SMBO website under the heading “Proposed Rules Filed with the Common Sense Initiative Office.”
- 4730-1-05 Quality assurance system
- 4730-2-04 Period of on-site supervision of physician-delegated prescriptive authority
- 4730-2-05 Addition of valid prescriber number after initial licensure.
Any comments should be submitted to the SMBO and to the Common Sense Initiative. The deadline for submitting comments is Thursday, April 19.
A state rule-making agency may propose to adopt a new rule, amend, or rescind an existing rule, or propose to continue a rule without any changes. Executive Order 2011-01K and Sections 107.62 and 121.82, Ohio Revised Code, require state agencies to draft rules in collaboration with stakeholders, assess and justify any adverse impact on the business community, and provide an opportunity for the affected public to provide input on the proposed rules. The Business Impact Analysis for the proposed rules discusses the purpose of the rule and identifies the nature of the adverse impact on licensees. The Common Sense Initiative review most be completed before the rules can begin the formal rule-making process through the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review.
