The Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure has also barred her from acting as a physician assistant without written permission from the board, practicing without a supervising physician and other stipulations. 

After reviewing eight patient charts, a board consultant found Ms. Bartley kept no record of prescribed diet or behavior modification, no record of inquiries into patients’ eating habits, no records of physical exams and no records of counseling on meal plans, among other violations.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
