PAMED Physician Leaders
Focus on Patient Test Result
Law and Scope of Practice
at August Meeting
Last Updated: Aug 15, 2019
Pennsylvania Medical Society (PAMED) physician leaders met in Harrisburg on Aug. 13-14,
2019, for a lively discussion of PAMED's advocacy priorities and other issues affecting health
care in the state.
Here's a look at some of the issues PAMED's Board of Trustees addressed at their latest
meeting:
* Scope of practice - PAMED recently reported that Senate Bill 25, a bill that would
allow CNRPs in Pennsylvania to practice without a collaborative agreement with a
physician, passed the Pa. Senate on June 12. The bill has been referred to the House
Professional Licensure Committee.
Recently, Rep. David Hickernell, who serves as Chair of the House Professional Licensure
Committee, asked PAMED if we would be willing to meet with the PA Coalition of
Nurse Practitioners (PCNP) to discuss the issue of CRNP independent practice. While
PAMED strongly opposes legislation allowing CRNPs to practice without a collaborative
agreement with a physician, we welcomed the opportunity to discuss our concerns directly
with the nurses.
On Aug. 14, PAMED met with PCNP to discuss our position. We remain committed to
supporting the physician as the leader of the health care team and opposing the expansion
of the scope of practice for allied health care professionals. Learn more about PAMED's
scope of practice advocacy here. https://www.pamedsoc.org/laws-advocacy/topics/scopeof-practice
