Current law provides that the State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts and the State Board of Nursing may promulgate rules relating to collaborative practice arrangements. This act further provides that any such rules on geographic proximity shall be consistent with and not more restrictive than current law.
Currently, a collaborating physician is responsible for determining and documenting the completion of at least a one-month period of time during which the APRN practices with the collaborating physician continuously present before practicing in a setting where the physician is not continuously present. This act modifies this provision and provides that the collaborating physician is responsible for determining and documenting the completion of at least a one-month period of time during which the collaborating physician shall review 30% of the charts documenting the APRN's delivery of health care services to the collaborating physician for review.
