Specific Rx
Text:
Dear prosthetist colleagues:
How specific and detailed are the prescriptions you are receiving for
prostheses? I recall getting prescriptions on an Rx pad that read Leg prosthesis
and signed by a physician.
On the generic prescriptions do you follow up with the physician for more
detail or do you find many physicians not versed in prosthetic component
selection?
How many write your own detailed prosthesis prescription for the physician's
signature?
Thanks for any insight you can provide on today's prostheses prescription
procedures.
