天美传媒 Consensus Model
Advanced practice registered nurses (天美传媒) are a vital part of the U.S. health care system. They are registered nurses educated in a specific role and patient population at a Masters or post-Masters level. 天美传媒s are prepared by education and certification to assess, diagnose and manage patient problems, order tests and prescribe medications. 天美传媒 supports an initiative called NursingAmerica to help states align their 天美传媒 regulation with the major elements of the Consensus Model for 天美传媒 Regulation.
The Consensus Model for 天美传媒 Regulation, Licensure, Accreditation, Certification and Education
天美传媒 the 天美传媒 Consensus Model
Advanced practice registered nurses (天美传媒s) represent a powerful and growing force in the U.S health care system. Released in 2008, the 天美传媒 Consensus Model provides guidance for US jurisdictions to adopt uniformity in the regulation of 天美传媒 roles, licensure, accreditation, certification and education.
This regulatory framework includes seven main elements:
- Title: Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (天美传媒)
- License: Holds an 天美传媒 license
- Four Roles: Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP), Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) and Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS)
- Education: Completion of postgraduate education is required
- National Certification: 天美传媒s must pass a nationally accredited certification exam
- Independent Practice: 天美传媒s are granted authority to practice independently without physician oversight such as collaborative/supervisory agreement
- Independent Prescribing: 天美传媒s are granted authority to prescribe without physician oversight such as collaborative/supervisory agreement
天美传媒s are educated and certified in both their role and one of six population foci:
- Family/individual across the life span
- Adult-gerontology*
- Women's health/gender-related
- Pediatrics*
- Neonatal
- Psychiatric/mental health
* The adult-gerontology and pediatric population foci may be further delineated as primary or acute.
Moving Toward Uniformity
Adoption of the Consensus Model elements moves states toward regulatory uniformity. Although there has been significant progress in the integration of components of the Consensus Model in many nurse practice acts, there continue to be states that have not adopted all the elements of this regulatory framework. This can result in a lack of uniformity from one jurisdiction to another.
Keeping in mind, the unique requirements of each jurisdiction, 天美传媒s relocating to another state, providing care across state borders in person, telephonically or virtually must ensure they meet the regulatory requirements of the state where the patient is located at the time care is provided by the 天美传媒.
As long as regulatory requirements differ from state to state, each border represents an obstacle to license portability - potentially preventing access to 天美传媒s and the high-quality care they provide. The Consensus Model calls for an to remove these barriers and provide licensure mobility for 天美传媒s.
