Ending Physician Collaboration for APNs in Ohio harms patient care and increases costs!
Earlier this week, the Ohio House Medicaid Committee held an opponent hearing on House Bill 508, a troubling bill to remove physician collaboration requirements from the law for Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs). This bill would grant an APRN, who is a certified nurse practitioner, the option to practice without a standard of care arrangement and collaborating practitioner if the APRN has practiced in a clinical setting for 5,000 hours. Furthermore, it permits an APRN’s collaborating practitioner to be an APRN who is not practicing with another collaborator. House Bill 449, introduced in the House Health Committee, has not yet received a hearing. The bill would eliminate the requirement for APNs to maintain a collaboration agreement after completing 2,000 hours of clinical practice.
