(1)
The supervising
anesthesiologist shall require regular, documented quality assurance
interactions between the supervising anesthesiologist and the anesthesiologist
assistant .
(a)
The regularly scheduled quality assurance interactions shall
occur in greater number and with greater frequency during the first four years
of an anesthesiologist assistant's practice than would be required for quality
assurance purposes for anesthesiologist assistants in practice for more than
four years and shall take place no less frequently than once every three
months.
(b)
The anesthesiologist assistant shall be required to
file on a monthly basis during the first two years of practice a separate
record of the cases of anesthetic management in which he or she participated.
The record shall be reviewed by a supervising anesthesiologist as a component
of the quality assurance interactions.
(c)
The reviewing
supervising anesthesiologist shall file a report of each quality assurance
interaction with the appropriate committee.
(2)
The supervising
anesthesiologist shall make direct observations of the anesthesiologist
assistant during the course of each case of anesthetic management.
(a)
During the first
year of an anesthesiologist assistant's practice, the direct observations of
each case of anesthetic management shall be made more frequently than for
comparable procedures for anesthesiologist assistants practicing beyond their
first year, and include direct observation of induction and
emergence.
(b)
The supervising anesthesiologist shall document the
enhanced supervision in the anesthetic record.
(3)
The period of
enhanced supervision for an anesthesiologist assistant who has practiced in
another state prior to beginning practice in Ohio shall be determined as
follows:
(a)
The anesthesiologist assistant shall be given credit for the
time practiced in another state.
(b)
The credit shall
be on a year-for-year basis, except that the supervising anesthesiologist shall
provide enhanced supervision as defined in this rule for the first three months
of the anesthesiologist assistant's practice in Ohio.
