[NPInfo] collaboration question

[Shelby Havens]

I just got home from a visit to my primary care physician. On the way out of her office, I noticed a flyer on the wall announcing the hiring of a nurse practitioner. There was a nice photograph of the NP in her lab coat, and a brief bio listing her education, experience, and board cerfication. At the bottom of the announcement, the following statement was posted:
 
"Our physicians will be available to assist with the nurse practitioner's clinical decision process if needed".   
 
What do yall think about that?
 
 
Best Regards,

Have any of our legal experts written anything definitive regarding this?
