Notes

Weak/incomplete finding, flagged rather than presented as settled: Virginia's nursing facility regulation requires each facility's written policies to address 'medical direction and physician services' (12VAC5-371-140.D.3), but the section spelling out a named 'medical director' role, qualifications, and duties couldn't be located this pass. No equivalent was found for assisted living (22VAC40-73), also covered by this org-type key. Verify before relying on more than 'some medical direction requirement exists.'
