Idaho Code § 54-5706

Current through the 2024 Regular Session
Section 54-5706 - EVALUATION AND TREATMENT

When delivering health care services via virtual care, including a prescription drug order or prescription medical device order, a provider shall obtain and document a patient's relevant clinical history and current symptoms to establish the diagnosis and identify underlying conditions and contraindications to the treatment recommended. A provider delivering health care services via virtual care has a duty to practice in a manner consistent with the provider's scope of practice and shall be held to the applicable Idaho community standard of care that applies in an in-person setting. Treatment based solely on a static online questionnaire does not constitute an acceptable standard of care.
