S3289 - Sponsor Memo

BILL NUMBER:S3289

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the education law,
in relation to services performed by nurse practitioners

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
To end the requirement of a
collaboration agreement between a nurse practitioner and a physician
as a condition for practice.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
The bill amends the nurse practice
act in Education law to delete the requirements for collaboration
agreements and practice protocols between nurse practitioners and
physicians.

JUSTIFICATION:
Nurse Practitioners (NPs) practice in a variety of
primary and specialty care settings including ambulatory, acute, long
term care, and primary care. Nurse practitioners are licensed and
certified by the State Education Department to diagnose illness and
physical conditions and perform therapeutic and corrective
measures, order tests, prescribe medications, medical devices and
immunizing agents and, when appropriate, refer patients to other

health care providers, without direct supervision. In addition to
their advanced certification by the Nursing Board, many NPs are
certified by national accrediting agencies in one or more practice
specialty.

Currently, New York requires a mandatory collaboration relationship
between a NP and a MD.
That relationship is defined by a written practice agreement which can
be as narrow or as broad as the MD is willing. Elsewhere, NPs
practice with complete independence in 13 states (AL, AZ, DC, IA, ID,
ME, MT, NH, NM, OR, UT, WA, WY). Given the education, training and
advanced certification of NPs, mandatory collaboration no longer
serves a clinical purpose.
Instead, mandatory collaboration serves as a barrier to practice and a
disincentive to advanced certification, and it restricts access to
primary health care for individuals and families in underserved areas
of the state.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
Based on 2009-10: S.8005

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Reduces administrative costs for the State Education Department.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
180 days after the date of enactment.

AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to services performed  by
  nurse practitioners

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1.  Short title. This act shall be known and may be  cited  as
the "nurse practitioners modernization act".
  S  2.  Subdivision 3 of section 6902 of the education law, as added by
chapter 257 of the laws of 1988, is amended to read as follows:
  3. (a) The practice of registered  professional  nursing  by  a  nurse
practitioner,  certified  under section six thousand nine hundred ten of
this article, may include the diagnosis of illness and  physical  condi-
tions  and the performance of therapeutic and corrective measures within
a specialty area of practice[, in collaboration with a  licensed  physi-
cian  qualified  to collaborate in the specialty involved, provided such
services are performed in accordance with a written  practice  agreement
and  written  practice  protocols.  The written practice agreement shall
include explicit provisions  for  the  resolution  of  any  disagreement
between the collaborating physician and the nurse practitioner regarding
a  matter of diagnosis or treatment that is within the scope of practice
of both. To the extent the practice agreement does not so provide,  then
the collaborating physician's diagnosis or treatment shall prevail].
  (b)  Prescriptions  for  drugs,  devices  and immunizing agents may be
issued by a nurse practitioner, under this subdivision and  section  six
thousand nine hundred ten of this article[, in accordance with the prac-
tice  agreement  and  practice  protocols]. The nurse practitioner shall
obtain a certificate from the department upon successfully completing  a
program  including  an appropriate pharmacology component, or its equiv-
alent, as  established  by  the  commissioner's  regulations,  prior  to
prescribing under this subdivision. The certificate issued under section

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD01405-02-1

S. 3289                             2

six  thousand  nine  hundred ten of this article shall state whether the
nurse practitioner has successfully completed such a program  or  equiv-
alent and is authorized to prescribe under this subdivision.
  (c)  [Each practice agreement shall provide for patient records review
by the collaborating physician in a timely fashion but in no event  less
often  than  every three months. The names of the nurse practitioner and
the collaborating physician shall be  clearly  posted  in  the  practice
setting of the nurse practitioner.
  (d)  The  practice protocol shall reflect current accepted medical and
nursing practice. The protocols shall be filed with the department with-
in ninety days of the commencement of the practice and  may  be  updated
periodically.  The  commissioner shall make regulations establishing the
procedure for the review of protocols and the disposition of any  issues
arising from such review.
  (e)  No  physician shall enter into practice agreements with more than
four nurse practitioners who are not located on the same physical  prem-
ises as the collaborating physician.
  (f)]  Nothing in this subdivision shall be deemed to limit or diminish
the practice of the profession of nursing as a  registered  professional
nurse  under  this article or any other law, rule, regulation or certif-
ication, nor to deny any registered professional nurse the right  to  do
any  act  or  engage  in  any practice authorized by this article or any
other law, rule, regulation or certification.
  [(g)] (D) The provisions of this subdivision shall not  apply  to  any
activity  authorized,  pursuant  to  statute,  rule or regulation, to be
performed by a registered professional nurse in a hospital as defined in
article twenty-eight of the public health law.
  S 3. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
it shall have become a law; provided, however, that effective immediate-
ly, the addition, amendment and/or repeal  of  any  rule  or  regulation
necessary  for  the implementation of this act on its effective date are
authorized and directed to be made  and  completed  on  or  before  such
effective date.

BILL NUMBER:S3289A

TITLE OF BILL:

An act
to amend the education law, in relation to establishing the nurse
practitioners modernization act; and providing for the repeal of such
provisions upon the expiration thereof

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To limit the requirement of a collaboration agreement between a nurse
practitioner and a physician as a condition for practice.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

The bill amends the nurse practice act in Education law to limit the
requirements for written collaboration agreements and practice
protocols between nurse practitioners (NPs) and physicians to NPs who
are practicing for less than 36 months and 3,600 hours with
exceptions for good cause approved by the Education Department. Under
the exceptions allowed, a collaborating physician may be substituted
by a collaborating NP who is past his or her written-collaboration
term and is qualified to collaborate in the specialty involved.

NPs who have passed the written-collaboration term successfully will

still be required to maintain "collaborative relationships" with
physicians or Article 28 hospitals with written guidelines covering
consultation and emergency referral plans. The written guidelines
must be filed with the department and failure to do so will
constitute misconduct.

The department will survey physicians and NPs on their experience with
the new requirements and report their findings and recommendations to
the legislature by September 1, 2016.

JUSTIFICATION:

Nurse Practitioners practice in a variety of primary and specialty
care settings including ambulatory, acute, long term care, and
primary care.
Nurse practitioners are licensed and certified by the State Education
Department to diagnose illness and physical conditions and perform
therapeutic and corrective measures, order tests, prescribe
medications, medical devices and immunizing agents and, when
appropriate, refer patients to other health care providers, without
direct supervision. In addition to their advance certification by the
Nursing Board, many NPs are certified by national accrediting
agencies in one or more practice specialty.
Currently, New York requires a mandatory collaboration relationship
between a NP and a MD. That relationship is defined by a written
practice agreement which can be as narrow or as broad as the MD is
willing. Elsewhere, NPs practice with complete independence in 13
states (AL, AZ, DC, IA, ID, ME, MT, NH, NM, OR, UT, WA, WY). Given
the education, training and advanced certification of NPs, mandatory
collaboration no longer serves a clinical purpose. Instead, mandatory


collaboration serves as a barrier to practice and a disincentive to
advanced certification, and it restricts access to primary health
care for individuals and families in underserved areas of the state.

chapter 257 of the laws of 1988, is amended to read as follows:
  3.  (a) (I) The practice of registered professional nursing by a nurse
practitioner, certified under section six thousand nine hundred  ten  of
