• Collaborate with Icon Health to ensure APPs have the qualifications, training, and experience necessary to perform authorized medical services, procedures, and medication/device ordering or furnishing activities.
• Review and approve the Practice Agreement on a regular basis and support updates when warranted by changes in conditions, circumstances, regulations, or clinical operations.
• Sign required collaboration, credentialing, and regulatory documentation in a timely manner.
