Editor's Notes
- #3 Susan ReinhardWelcome to today’s webinar “Removing Barriers to APRN Practice and Care: The Consumer Perspective”. We are happy to be co-sponsoring this webinar with the Interdisciplinary Nursing Quality Research Initiative also known as INQRI. I know Mary Naylor is on the line with us, Mary is the is the director of the INQRI program and the Marian S. Ware Professor in Gerontology and Director of NewCourtland Center for Transitions and Health at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing.Before we go further, I wanted to mention that we are recording today’s webinar, so if you miss a section or would like to pass it on to a colleague, you can find the recording and materials by going to www.championnursing.org/events.
- #4 Susan ReinhardAs all of you know, In October 2010, the Institute of Medicine released a landmark report that outlines a blueprint for transforming the nursing profession to enhance the quality and value of U.S. health care in ways that meet future needs of diverse populations. The first of the eight recommendations made in the report is to remove scope of practice barriers to that “advanced practice registered nurses should be able to practice to the full extent of their education and training”.
- #5 Susan ReinhardTo implement the recommendations of the IOM reportRWJF, AARP and the AARP Foundation have launched the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action. The campaign and its 48 Action Coalitions are focused on key pillars based on the IOM report. Advancing Education TransformationRemoving Barriers to Practice and CareNursing LeadershipInterprofessional collaboration and diversity are threads woven through each pillar.And the foundation is data.Our focus today is on removing barriers and practice to care, specifically APRN careWe will: Consider the consumer’s perspective on APRN practice and careIdentify advocacy strategies and resources for removing these barriers
- #6 Susan ReinhardThis slide has several points that will place today’s webinar in context. Primary care in the United States is struggling to meet patients’ needs, and healthcare workforce shortages will be exacerbated as millions of Americans seek care and the population continues to age. For both immediate and long-term needs, solutions must enable all nurses, RNs and APRNs, as well as other health professionals, to practice to the full level of their education and training in a patient -centered team-based model of care delivery. Practicing to the full extent of their education and training creates more efficient models of care.
- #7 Susan ReinhardYou are probably already familiar with the source for this slide, the research review conducted by Robin Newhouse from Johns Hopkins University and her colleagues from several other institutions in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. This research review summarized data from 69 randomized controlled clinical trials and 49 observational studies between 1990 and 2008. No studies suggest care is better in states that require APRNs to practice under required physician supervision or collaboration.These results extend what is known about APRN outcomes from previous reviews by assessing all types of APRNs over a span of 18 years, using a systematic process with intentionally broad inclusion of outcomes, patient populations and settings.The results indicate APRNs provide effective and high-quality patient care;have an important role in improving the quality of patient care in the United States; and supports reform efforts aimed at expanding access to care.And if you are not familiar with this research, you can click on the handout icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen for more information.(Slide source is Newhouse, et al, 2011, Advanced Practice Nurse Outcomes 1990 – 2008: A Systematic Review,Journal of Nursing Economic$)
- #8 Susan ReinhardThis slide shows that many states have outdated regulations and barriers that prevent nurse practitioners from practicing to the full extent of their education and training. For example, nurse practitioners in Washington and Oregon can see patients and prescribe medicine without physicianoversight; their counterparts in neighboring California and Nevada cannot.
- #9 Susan ReinhardI would like to welcome Barbara Safriet, Visiting Professor of Health Law at Lewis & Clark Law School, Portland, Oregon; and Former Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Lecturer in Law at Yale Law SchoolBarbara has influenced professional regulation in her teachings, her writings and her advocacy. We hope that you are familiar with the commissioned paper that she wrote for the IOM Report on the Future of Nursing. If not, you can find it by clicking on the handout icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen. We have asked Barbara to comment from the consumer perspective on barriers to APRN practice and care.

- #11 Susan ReinhardThank you, Barbara. Before we open the line to questions, I would like to introduce the two members of the Center to Champion Nursing in America team who focus on the first IOM recommendation – removing barriers to APRN scope of practice, Winifred Quinn and Andrea Brassard.Winifred Quinn, Director, Legislation and Campaign OperationsDr. Quinn advocates for progressive nursing policy changes at the state and federal level so that healthcare consumers have a highly skilled nurse when and where they need one. Winifred’s federal work includes removing federal barriers to APRN practice and care. Her state level work is to provide technical assistance to teams that are working to modernize scope of practice laws. Dr. Quinn also helps organize a broad coalition that champions nurses’ issues and works with representatives of other consumer organizations, businesses, insurers, and provider organizations.

- #14 Susan ReinhardThank you, Winifred. Andrea Brassard is the Senior Strategic Policy Advisor at CCNA. She works on the Campaign for Action “Practice pillar” advancing health policy solutions to fully realize nurses’ contributions to a patient-centered transformed health care system. Dr. Brassard brought us the map you saw earlier and informs our advocacy efforts to implement the IOM Report Recommendation #1 – Remove Scope of Practice Barriers. She is the author of “Removing Barriers to APRN Practice and Care: Hospital Privileges.” In addition to being our “content expert” on APRN practice and care, she is a practicing FNP, who volunteers as an “attending” at the George Washington University medical student run clinic providing primary care to underserved DC residents. Andrea will tell you about some of the resources that are available on the CCNA website and the Campaign for Action extranet.
