A physician assistant is qualified by the individual's education, training and experience to provide a broad range of diagnostic, therapeutic and health promotion and disease prevention services. A physician assistant may collaborate with or refer to the appropriate member of a healthcare team as indicated by the condition of the patient and the education, experience and competence of the physician assistant and current standard of care.

It is not legal, medical, or compliance advice, and using it creates no attorney-client relationship. A summary can lag its source or leave out detail, and monitoring itself can be interrupted — so an absence of alerts means nothing reached you, not that nothing happened.
