State Licensing and Regulatory Information: One Mouse Click Away If you can find your state on the U.S. map (or even if you can’t!), you can quickly and easily access links to key licensing and regulatory information in your state, thanks to the NHPCO Regulatory team. (This was the project of summer intern Mary Williams, who now works for NHPCO.) A new webpage on the Regulatory Center provides links to this state-specific information. Best of all, there are two ways to access it—by state or by category. Give It a Try: To search by state, visit the NHPCO website, scroll to the featured U.S. map, and click on your state. A webpage will then open with this key information in a simple Microsoft Word table. Or, to take a look at the information by category, click on any of the links below (and select your state when the page opens): Licensing Boards • Nurse Aide Registries • State Boards of Nursing (all nursing levels) • State Medical Boards (all physician levels) • Social Work Regulatory Boards (all social worker levels) State Regulations • Certificate of Need: Links to general information and CON applications. • Drug Disposal Laws and Regulations: Links to laws and regulations governing drug disposal. • Nurse Pronouncement of Death: Links to statespecific language for those states that permit licensed registered nurses to pronounce death. • Hospice Regulations: Links to state government hospice-licensing regulations. • Surrogate Decision Makers: Links to surrogate decision-making laws. Survey Agencies • State Survey Agencies: Links to agencies under contract with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to inspect and Medicarecertify healthcare providers (including hospices). State Organizations • State Hospice and Palliative Care Organizations/ Associations Visit the webpage on the NHPCO site—and bookmark it for future reference. 32 NewsLine http://www.nhpco.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=6105 http://www.nhpco.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=6107 http://www.nhpco.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=6109 http://www.nhpco.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=6113 http://www.nhpco.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=6114 http://www.nhpco.org/custom/iMAP1123/index.htm http://www.nhpco.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=6115 http://www.nhpco.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=6112 http://www.nhpco.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=6112 http://www.nhpco.org/custom/iMAP1123/index.htm http://www.nhpco.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=6104 http://www.nhpco.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=6110 http://www.nhpco.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=6108 http://www.nhpco.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=6111
