Description
Certified nurse midwives. Clarifies the relationship between licensed physicians and nurse practitioners, categorized as certified nurse midwives, as one of collaboration and consultation, rather than as one of supervision. The bill also directs the Board of Medicine and the Board of Nursing to jointly promulgate regulations specifying collaboration and consultation to include (i) development, periodic review and revision of a written protocol, (ii) development of guidelines for availability and ongoing communications that define consultation among the collaborating parties and the patient, and (iii) periodic joint evaluation of services delivered. In addition, the bill also emphasizes that no person other than the certified nurse midwife who provided care to the patient will be liable for the nurse midwife's negligent, grossly negligent or willful and wanton acts or omissions; however, no other licensed midwife, doctor of medicine or osteopathy, nurse, prehospital emergency medical personnel or hospital will be exempt from liability for their own subsequent and independent negligent acts or omissions. A second enactment clause requires the Boards of Medicine and Nursing to promulgate emergency regulations to implement these provisions. Read the Bill »
