2. The candidate must be at the facility on a designated day from 8:00am to 3:45 pm or as patient workload allows.
3. The candidate will be at the facility no later than 8:00am. If it is determined that he will be late on scheduled days, then he must inform nursing/medical supervisor no later than the day before or promptly the day of to reschedule and coordinate relief to patients.
4. The candidate shall take a history and perform an appropriate examination.  The findings shall be correlated with the laboratory and ultrasound findings.  The candidate shall make a verbal report to a Government physician and shall further make a written consultation in the patient’s Electronic Health Record.  The written consultation shall include the findings, impression, and recommendations about the management.  The candidate shall be available for consultation by telephone and shall give recommendations to the Government physicians about management of patients seen between clinics, at no charge to Sanford Federal.

7. In the event that an emergency admission of an eligible person occurs in a local contract hospital, and that the candidate is responsible for the care of the patient, the preferred procedure is telephone notification and request for the authorization by an IHS physician.  Such a request may be made after the admission by calling the IHS physician on call or the Chief Executive Officer.   In such an emergency admission, failure to notify the Wind River Service Unit within 72 hours removes the obligation of the Indian Health Service to participate in the responsibility for payment.  While the primary responsibility for notification is with the patient or the patient’s family, notification by the contractor or the hospital may often avert difficulties.  Referral from one hospital to another requires the prior approval by an IHS physician.  Initial oral permission is followed by written authorization by the IHS Physician/provider.

Laboratory and other diagnostic tests including ultrasound examinations shall be made in one of the Indian Health Service Centers whenever possible.  The candidate will order these tests elsewhere when they are not available at the Indian Health Centers or when the patient is an inpatient at another facility under the care of the candidate.  Authorization shall be obtained from the referring IHS provider before tests are scheduled.
