How a Medical Director Helps Providers in Santa Monica
A medical director plays a vital role in supporting providers in Santa Monica by overseeing clinic operations and ensuring clinical excellence. Through their leadership, the clinic maintains high standards of care, effective coordination, and full regulatory compliance.
The responsibilities of a medical director include:
- Legally delegating prescribing authority.
- Ensuring compliance with California Medical Board requirements.
- Conducting chart reviews and maintaining oversight of patient safety.
With this structure in place, providers gain several important benefits:
- The ability to expand services without regulatory risk.
- More time to focus on patient care while compliance and protocols are handled by the medical director.
- Consistent support in maintaining high standards of clinical practice and quality of care.
California Oversight Compliance Rules
Nurse Practitioners
Under AB 890, some NPs may eventually practice independently. Until then, most require a Standardized Procedure Agreement with a supervising physician to prescribe, diagnose, or perform procedures. Education and training play a crucial role in ensuring that NPs meet the requirements set by AB 890 for independent practice.
Physician Assistants
PAs must have a Delegation of Services Agreement outlining delegated medical tasks, prescribing scope, and chart review schedules.
Registered Nurses & Estheticians
RNs may perform delegated procedures only under protocols with physician oversight. Estheticians cannot inject Botox, perform fillers, or operate lasers without physician authorization, as these procedures fall under the practice of medicine.
Delegation & Supervision
Supervising physicians must remain available, whether on-site or via electronic communication, and are legally responsible for chart reviews and patient safety.
Malpractice Insurance
All of our Santa Monica supervising physicians carry malpractice coverage that includes aesthetics, IV therapy, hormone replacement, and more.
Common Mistakes We Prevent
- Opening a medspa without standardized protocols.
- Allowing estheticians to perform restricted procedures.
- NPs prescribing without proper oversight.
- Skipping chart review requirements.
