Independent Historian

Tough topics and gray guidelines are what we like to cover in these “Takes,” and this one is no exception.
Independent Historian did get cleared up somewhat with 2021 guidelines, but there are still some nuances there. However, it also added with the definition in what cases an Independent Historian could be used and why. Because it added those definitions with it, does that now create the need for our provider to identify why an Independent Historian is required? I'll answer this in Today's Take and my blog post at namas.co/NiWhC.
