1 Consensus Model for APRN Regulation: Licensure, Accreditation, Certification, Education Victoria A. Weill

2 Future of Nursing Report (IOM, 2010) Recommendations 1) the health care system needs to tap the capabilities of APRNs to meet the increased demand for primary care 2) Nurses should be partners with other health care professionals in redesigning healthcare in the US 3)"...regulatory and institutional obstacles -- including limits on nurses' scope of practice -- should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care"

3 U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act 32 million Americans newly insured Created demand for APRNs as qualified care providers

4 Reasons APRN Consensus Model Necessary Lack of common definitions related to APRN roles Lack of standardization in programs leading to APRN preparation Proliferation of specialties and subspecialties Lack of common legal recognition across jurisdictions

5 APRN Working Groups NCSBN APRN Committee (formerly Advisory Group) APRN Consensus Process 50 Organizations APRN Consensus Work Group 23 Organizations Joint Dialogue Group For list of organizations involved

6 Benefits of APRN Consensus Model Facilitates mobility of APRNs Ensures public safety Increases access to health care Advocates appropriate scope of practice Standardizes each aspect of the regulatory process

7 Consensus Model Endorsed July 2008 National initiative Currently endorsed by more than 48 organizations and stakeholders Goal implementation by onsensus_model_for_ap RN_Regulation_July_2008.pdf

8 An Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) is a nurse: 1.Who has completed an accredited graduate-level education program preparing for one of the four recognized APRN roles 2.Who has passed a national certification examination that: a) Measures APRN role b) Population-focused competencies c) Maintains continued competence as evidenced by recertification in the role and population through the national certification program; 3.Who has acquired advanced clinical knowledge and skills to provide direct care to patients, as well as a component of indirect care. 4.Whose practice builds on the competencies of registered nurses (RNs) 5. Who has the skill and knowledge to prescribe pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions Consensus Document,2008

9 APRN Direct Care Component Advanced clinical knowledge and skills to provide direct care to patients is a defining component of practice All APRNs have a significant component of education and practice focusing on direct care of individuals Nurseweb.Uscf.edu

10 APRN Regulatory Model APRN Specialties Focus of Practice beyond role and population focus Linked to health care needs Examples include but are not limited to: Oncology, Older Adults, Orthopedics, Nephrology, Palliative care, Critical Care Licensure occurs at Levels of Role & Population Foci Adult- Women s Health/ Across lifespan Gerontology Gender Related Neonatal Pediatrics Family/Individual Nurse Anesthetist Nurse Midwife POPULATION FOCI APRN ROLES Clinical Nurse Specialist ++ Psych/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner + +The certified nurse practitioner (CNP) is prepared with the acute care CNP competencies and/or the primary care CNP competencies. At this point in time the acute care and primary care CNP delineation applies only to the pediatric and adult-gerontology CNP population foci. Scope of practice of the primary care or acute care CNP is not setting specific but is based on patient care needs. Program may prepare individuals across both the primary care and acute care CNP competencies. If programs prepare graduates across both sets of roles, the graduate must be prepared with the consensus-based competencies for both roles and must successfully obtain certification in both the acute and the primary care CNP roles. CNP certification in the acute care or primary care roles must match the educational preparation for CNP s in these roles. APRN Regulatory Model

11 Acute or Primary Care Designation for : -Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (CNP) -Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner (CNP) Programs MAY prepare across both set of roles But must be prepared with : -compentencies -certification For BOTH roles ++ CNS education & certification: Wellness acute care continuum

12 Acute Care being delivered if : 1) Management of unstable chronic illness 2)Management of complex acute illness 3)Management of critical illness KEY: Based on patient care needs NOT setting ttussc.edu

13 Adult Gerontology CNP or CNS Encompasses young adult to older adult Will include frail elderly All APRNs providing care to adults must be prepared to met the needs of the older adult population ex. Family Gender specific

14 APRN Specialty PROVIDES DEPTH TO PRACTICE WITHIN POPULATION FOCI- ADDITIVE Specialty preparation cannot replace educational preparation in the role or one of the six population foci Can t be licensed solely within specialty Specialty preparation cannot expand one s scope of practice beyond the role and population focus Addresses a subset of the population-focus Definition built on ANA (2004) Criteria for Recognition as a Nursing Specialty The title may not be used in lieu of the licensing title, which includes the role and population Is developed, recognized and monitored by the profession

15 Congruency KEY Education Certification Licensure MUST be congruent in terms of role & population foci

16 APRN Titling Licensing title: Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) is for the subset of nurses prepared with advanced, graduate-level nursing knowledge to provide direct patient care in one of the four roles and one of the population foci Verification of licensure will indicate the role and population focus for which the APRN has been licensed. The nurse must legally represent themselves, including in a legal signature, as an APRN and by role (e.g. APRN- CNP) The title of APRN and role titles are legally protected titles and may not be used by any individual who does not hold the proper credentials.

17 Broad-Based APRN Education For entry into APRN practice and for regulatory purposes the APRN education must: Be a formal accredited graduate or postgraduate certificate program in an academic institution. The program must be comprehensive and on the graduate level Be awarded pre-approval, preaccreditation or accreditation status prior to admitting students Prepare graduates in one of four roles and in at least one of the population foci

18 Broad-Based APRN Education (cont.) Include at least three separate comprehensive graduate level courses in the APRN core Advanced Physiology/Pathophysiology Advanced Health Assessment Advanced Pharmacology Provide basic understanding of decision-making principles Ensure clinical and didactic coursework is comprehensive to prepare the graduate to practice in the APRN role and population foci

19 Relationship Between Educational Competencies, Licensure and Certification Competencies Identified by Professional Organizations (e.g. oncology, palliative care, CV) Specialty Measures of competencies Specialty Certification* CNP, CRNA, CNM, CNS in Population context APRN Core Courses: Patho/phys, Pharmacology, Physical/health assess Population Foci Role APRN Licensure: based on Education And certification**

20 APRN Regulatory Model APRN regulation includes: Licensure The granting of authority to practice Accreditation Formal review and approval by a recognized agency of educational degree or certification programs in nursing or nursing related programs Certification The formal recognition of knowledge, skills and experience demonstrated by the achievement of standards identified by the profession Education The formal preparation of APRNs in graduate or postgraduate programs

21 L Foundational Requirements for Licensure The Boards of Nursing (Licensure) will: License APRNs in one of four roles with a population focus Be solely responsible for licensing (exception for states where boards of midwifery regulate nurse-midwives and midwives) Only license graduates of accredited graduate programs Require successful completion of a national certification examination that assesses APRN core, role and population competencies Only license an APRN when education and certification are congruent Not issue a temporary license

22 L Foundational Requirements for Licensure cont The Boards of Nursing will: License APRNs as independent practitioners with no regulatory requirements for collaboration, direction or supervision Have at least one APRN representative position on the board and utilize an APRN advisory committee that includes representatives of all four APRN roles Institute a grandfathering clause that will exempt those APRNs already practicing in the state from new eligibility requirements Have the option for mutual recognition of advanced practice nursing through the APRN Compact

23 Grandfathering A provision in new law or regulation exempting those already in or a part of the existing system that is being regulated. NCSBON Article III. Definitions

24 Grandfathering Currently licensed APRNs will be grandfathered in that state No licenses taken away IF APRN moves to another state that has adopted the Model Act- might need to meet requirements of act or take action through education and certification

25 A Foundational Requirements for Accreditation of Education Programs Accreditors will: Evaluate APRN graduate degree and post-graduate certification programs Through their established accreditation standards and process, assess APRN education programs in light of the APRN core, role core and population core competencies Assess developing APRN education programs and tracks by reviewing them using established accreditation standards and granting pre-approval, pre-accreditation or accreditation prior to student enrollment Include an APRN in the visiting team when reviewing an APRN program Monitor the APRN education programs throughout the accreditation period

26 C Foundational Requirements for Certification Certification programs providing APRN certification used for licensure will: Follow established certification testing and psychometrically sound, legally defensible standards for APRN examinations for licensure Provide national certification Assess the APRN core and role competencies across at least one population focus of practice Assess specialty competencies separately from the APRN core, role and population focused competencies. Be accredited by a national certification accreditation body

27 C Foundational Requirements for Certification cont Certification programs providing APRN certification used for licensure will: Enforce congruence between the education program and the type of certification examination Provide a mechanism to ensure ongoing competence and maintenance of certification Participate in an ongoing relationship which makes their processes transparent to boards of nursing (BON) Participate in a mutually agreeable mechanism to ensure communication with the BON

28 E Foundational Requirements for Education APRN educational programs/tracks leading to eligibility for an APRN license will: Follow established educational standards and ensure attainment of the APRN core, role core and population core competencies Be accredited by a nursing accrediting organization that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and/or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation Be pre-approved, pre-accredited, or accredited prior to the acceptance of students, including all developing APRN education programs and tracks Ensure that graduates of the program are eligible for national certification and state licensure Ensure that official documentation (e.g. transcripts) specifies the role and population focus of the graduate

29 Time Line-Goal 2015 APRN education programs should be transitioned by 2012 Accreditation processes should be in place by Certification examinations should be transitioned by 2013 (AACN, 2011)

30 Work to be Completed with Endorsement of Model Regulation Licensing Adopt regulatory model completed in August 2008 Adopt licensure language completed in August 2008 Implementation by state boards of nursing Accreditors Pre-approval process Review of post Master s Programs Integrate role standards Certifiers Assess extent of testing of 3 Ps for all roles Assess testing of role competencies, including consensus-based CNS competencies, within each population Integrate adult-older adult competencies into one assessment mechanism Review psych/mental health curriculum

31 Work to be Completed with Endorsement of Model Regulation cont Educators Ensure 3 P s Ensure APRN, Role and population focused competencies attained Integrate adult and older adult SIGNIFICANT attention to older Transcript

32 Adult-Gerontology Integration AACN, NONPF, NACNS collaborated to develop: National consensus-based competencies for: Adult-Gerontology Primary Care NP Adult-Gerontology CNS Adult-Gerontology Acute Care NP

33 Current Activities Endorsement LACE CNS National Competencies National Work Groups Boards of Nursing State Work Groups

34 Consensus Model vs. Model Act Translating National Consensus Statement into Law National Counsel of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) Model Act approved (August 2008) based on concepts put forth in Consensus Model Will act as template for states in terms of how to rewrite laws in keeping with Consensus Model If state chooses to adopt Model Act -Independent practice -No collaborative agreement with physician - Full prescriptive privileges

35 Role for Nurses in Pennsylvania Advocate for changes in the laws to match the language of the Model Act Educational programs need to meet requirements. Everything must be congruent Individually, if APRN,keep certification current If not certified and planning to move to another state, investigate requirements to get nationally certified
