The anesthesiologist shall base the provisions of the protocol on consideration of relevant quality assurance standards, including regular review by the anesthesiologist of the medical records of the patients of the anesthesiologist assistant. The supervising anesthesiologist shall supervise the anesthesiologist assistant in accordance with the terms of the protocol under which the assistant practices and the rules for supervision of anesthesiologist assistants adopted by the state medical board under this chapter and Chapter 4731. of the Revised Code. The board's rules shall include requirements for enhanced supervision of an anesthesiologist assistant during the first four years of practice.
