Problems with existing regulation included lack of common definitions related to APRN roles, lack of standardization in programs leading to APRN preparation, proliferation of specialties and subspecialties and lack of common legal recognition across jurisdictions. The development of the new regulatory model sought to alleviate these problems and at the same time enhance patient safety, improve consumer understanding of APRN roles, provide ease in regulation and promote interstate mobility of APRNs. 16 Hartigan, C.
