[Histonet] orders

[Horn, Hazel V]

In the 25+ years I have worked at ACH we have never allowed a resident physician to order a pathology test.  I am now being asked why we do this?   I have no idea if there is a rule from Medicaid or insurance providers that all orders must be from a staff physician.   Does your hospital allow residents to place pathology orders?
