Abstract: The Social Security Administration (SSA) operated Employee Health Clinics on-site in eight different states. These clinics provide health care for all SSA employees including treatments of personal medical conditions when authorized through a physician. The SSA-5072 is the employee's personal physician's order form. The information collected on the SSA-5072 gives the nurses the guidance they need by law to perform certain medical procedures and to administer prescription medications such as allergy immunotherapy. Also, the information collected by the SSA-5072 allows the SSA Medical Officer to determine whether the treatment can be administered safely and appropriately in the SSA Employee Health Units. Each state of the Union has a Nurse Practice Act governing the practice of registered nurses in the state. All Nurse Practice Acts require that registered nurses administer prescription medications and certain medical treatments by following a licensed physician's orders. Form SSA-5072 provides the vehicle for the physician to provide these orders to the SSA nursing staff.
