Physicians have a legal and ethical responsibility to provide leadership in the care of our institutionalized elderly. In the nursing home, this responsibility includes three components: providing care for individual patients (attending physician), providing care for groups of individuals (medical director) and monitoring and evaluating utilization and quality of care (Utilization Review Committee). Individual physicians, administrators and staff must define the tasks of the medical director to meet the needs of each particular nursing home.
医生在照顾我们机构中的老年人方面负有法律和道德责任。在养老院，这项责任包括三个方面：为个体患者提供护理（主治医生）、为一组个体提供护理（医疗主任）以及监测和评估护理的利用情况和质量（利用审查委员会）。个体医生、管理人员和工作人员必须明确医疗主任的任务，以满足每个特定养老院的需求。
