Quick Tip | What goes into an NP collaborative agreement? | NPs and PAs' scope of practice is determined by education and experience, much like physicians. That scope is further defined by state law, hospital credentialing, and collaborating or supervising physician agreements. Where nurse practitioners (NP) are not permitted by state law to practice independently, it is important to delineate the NP's scope of practice in a collaborative practice agreement. For physician assistants (PA), a supervisory agreement is utilized to delineate scope of practice. |
