Our nation's hospitals are no longer the private domain of the medical physician. Other "independent" health care providers are justified in applying for clinical privileges. The expanding scope of practice has served to make optometrists more aware of their rights to practice in the hospital environment. Recent changes in the guidelines of the Joint Commission for Accreditation in Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) has further reinforced the concept that no independent health care providers should be denied clinical privileges based solely on the fact that an applicant is not an "MD."
我们国家的医院不再是内科医生的私人领地。其他“独立”的医疗服务提供者有理由申请临床特权。执业范围的扩大使验光师更加意识到他们在医院环境中执业的权利。医疗保健组织联合认证委员会（JCAHO）指南最近的变化进一步强化了这样一种观念，即任何独立的医疗服务提供者都不应仅仅因为申请人不是“医学博士”而被剥夺临床特权。
