I figured it out reading the most recent active threads.
Eliminate medical control.
Think about it.
All treatments would be defined by a scope of practice and performed at the discretion of the provider.
Which would make that provider soley and officially responsible for care.
Those that are too inept to function without a protocol book would be weeded out sooner or later.
Providers would have to seek out more advanced education in order to figure out what they were doing. No more "just following orders."
Nobody to call and ask permission for things that are known to be needed.
No more inept providers calling and disrupting the ED asking for permission to follow standing orders.
The more I think about it, the more I like it.
