How many charts must a collaborating physician review for a New Jersey NP?

A collaborating physician is not required to review a set number of charts for a New Jersey NP. Instead, chart review must be timely in inpatient settings1 and periodic in other medically appropriate settings2. The exact frequency is not fixed by statute; it is determined by the practice’s joint protocol and clinical context.
The joint protocol between the APN and collaborating physician must specify the frequency and methodology for periodic patient record review3, and it must be updated on an ongoing basis to reflect changes, including the frequency of record review4. In practice, this means chart-review obligations are tailored to the setting and agreed standards rather than a statutory quota.
