The CCEP resident may write all orders on patients who are cared for by the electrophysiology service, as there are no other residents involved with these patients.
With regard to patients on other hospital services, the electrophysiology residents' order writing is restricted to preoperative and postoperative electrophysiology laboratory orders. Additional orders, for example for an urgent change in therapy, need to be discussed with the resident primarily caring for these patients. These residents, at their discretion, may allow the clinical cardiac electrophysiology resident to write selected orders.
