#StopScopeCreep
1/The message from @AmerMedicalAssn to “Stop Scope Creep” flags a signal in opposition to the lessons I gained from 24 years of care for persons experiencing homelessness.
2/I can imagine some specific tensions that do arise for generalist MDs like me if payers supplant us fully in favor of other clinicians - but a broadcast hashtag #StopScopeCreep runs smack into many other competing and serious problems
3/First: in my world of caring for persons experiencing homelessness, I have been teamed up with Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants and RNs whose training and life experience are absolutely crucial, and compensate for my limitations
1/ @AmerMedicalAssn led a sign-on letter with over 100 national specialty and state medical societies submitted to @DeptVetAffairs in opposition to its recent Interim Final Rule (IFR), “Authority of VA Professionals to Practice Health Care.” 
2/ The @DeptVetAffairs IFR permits virtually all VHA-employed non-physician practitioners (NPPs) to practice without the clinical supervision of physicians and without regard to state scope of practice law.
3/ The IFR establishes the VA’s authority to allow virtually all NPPs to practice without the clinical supervision of a physician. In doing so, the IFR preempts state license, registration, certification, supervision, or other requirements.
