JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A new law that’s set to go into effect later this summer is expected to help Missouri’s healthcare professional shortage.
Under current state law, advanced practice registered nurses (APRN) are required to be in a collaborative practice agreement, which means nurse practitioners have a physician nearby to do their job. With these restrictions set to be lifted, it’s expected patients will have better access to healthcare.
“Getting this done is really important work for our ability to provide services in more isolated areas primarily,” Missouri Hospital Association spokesperson Dave Dillion said.
