Medical director for a cosmetic clinic in Australia: What the rules require
Hiring a medical director for a cosmetic clinic in Australia is not a legal requirement. What the law requires is a prescriber.

They buy the job title because […]
WriteUpp alternatives for UK therapists and private practices
WriteUpp holds a loyal following among UK therapists. It’s clean, focused, and purpose-built for allied health. But “good enough for now” stops holding up once a practice adds a second clinician. The same happens when it expands into aesthetics, or needs invoicing beyond basic per-session billing. That’s when WriteUpp users start looking for something with […]
PHIPA compliant EMR: What your Ontario practice has to prove
A PHIPA compliant EMR is an arrangement, not a certified product. Ontario’s Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004 (PHIPA) places its duties on your practice and on your software provider.

IV therapy clinic in Canada: provincial rules and CAD costs
An IV therapy clinic in Canada is governed by two rules, and neither one is federal. First, the provincial nursing college decides who may start the IV.

IV hydration business requirements New York
New York’s IV hydration business requirements start with ownership. Only a licensed physician, or a PLLC or PC owned entirely by physicians, may own the practice. However, an RN, an NP, or a PA can run the drip. None of them can hold the equity. That split catches owners out, because the clinical rules and […]
IV hydration business requirements Illinois
The IV hydration business requirements Illinois enforces start with ownership. Only physicians may organize a practice under the Medical Corporation Act (805 ILCS 15). In addition, physicians and APRNs may both use a professional service corporation (805 ILCS 10) or a professional limited liability company (805 ILCS 185).

Michigan IV hydration business requirements: Ownership, licensing & oversight
The IV hydration business requirements in Michigan come down to one question. Who may hold equity in the entity that renders the medical service? Physicians and physician assistants may. Registered nurses, nurse practitioners, paramedics, and outside investors generally may not. The odd part is that no Michigan statute names an IV hydration business at all. […]
IV hydration business requirements North Carolina
IV hydration business requirements in North Carolina start with a question about ownership, not paperwork.
