    "description": "The first visit by a physician or advanced-practice clinician after a patient is admitted to a nursing facility, at the least involved of the three initial levels. The clinician reviews why the patient was admitted, examines them, reconciles the medications carried over from the hospital, and writes the initial orders and plan of care for the facility staff to follow. What places a visit at this level rather than the two higher ones is straightforward medical decision making, or a shorter total time spent on the patient that day.",
