The information from the medical examination must be recorded on the practitioner ' s form or on a form adopted by agency rule. The medical examination form, signed only by the practitioner, must be submitted to the owner or administrator of the facility, who shall use the information contained therein to assist in the determination of the appropriateness of the resident ' s admission to or continued residency in the facility. The medical examination form may only be used to record the practitioner ' s direct observation of the patient at the time of examination and must include the patient ' s medical history. Such form does not guarantee admission to, continued residency in, or the delivery of services at the facility and must be used only as an informative tool to assist in the determination of the appropriateness of the resident ' s admission to or continued residency in the facility. The medical examination form, reflecting the resident ' s condition on the date the examination is performed, becomes a permanent part of the facility ' s record of the resident and must be made available to the agency during inspection or upon request. An assessment that has been completed through the Comprehensive Assessment and Review for Long-Term Care Services (CARES) Program fulfills the requirements for a medical examination under this subsection and s. 429.07(3)(b)6. (6) Any resident accepted in a facility and placed by the Department of Children and Families must have been examined by medical personnel within 30 days before placement in the facility.
