Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
As provided for in division (B) of section
				4761.05 of the Revised Code, a
				limited permit holder must work under the supervision of a respiratory care
				professional (RCP) and may not be supervised by any other person, including
				those persons licensed to practice in any other profession.
"To practice under the supervision of a respiratory care
				professional" as used in division (B) of section
				4761.05 of the Revised Code
				requires that an RCP be readily available in the facility and responsible at
				all times for the direction and actions of a limited permit holder under their
				supervision. Three types of limited permits are issued by the board:
				student-based, employment-based, and graduate-based. The level of supervision
				and the duties assigned may vary based upon the type of limited permit holder
				that is being supervised. The RCP shall determine the appropriate level of
				supervision and assigned respiratory care duties for an employment-based
				limited permit holder taking into consideration institutional competency
				reviews and work performance. For student limited permit holders, the
				appropriate level of supervision and assigned respiratory care duties shall be
				based, in part, on competencies approved and
								documented by the student's
				respiratory care educational program director. At no time shall a supervising
				RCP assign duties that exceed the approved competencies documented
				.
				Graduate-based limited permit holders may practice a full scope of respiratory
				care duties, but must still be supervised in accordance with this rule.
				Regardless of the type of limited permit held, an RCP shall not delegate to a
				less qualified person any service which requires the skill, knowledge and
				judgment of an RCP.
