Important Legislative Update regarding HB 423

 Posted in Latest News on April 15, 2016.

Important Legislative Update for the Medical and Nursing Professions

HB 423 became law April 14, 2016 and affects several components within the medical and nursing professions. Not knowing the licensure requirements or grounds for discipline within your profession does not alleviate you from accountability of practicing responsibly. Therefore, please read the information below carefully as it may pertain to your profession.

Physician Assistants (PAs) and Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners (ARNPs) can prescribe controlled substances listed in Schedule II, Schedule III or Schedule IV as defined in s. 893.03 Florida Statutes, beginning January 1, 2017. An ARNP who is certified as a Psychiatric Nurse may now prescribe certain controlled substances pursuant to HB 977.

In addition, an ARNP may only prescribe or dispense a controlled substance as defined in s. 893.03 Florida Statutes if the ARNP graduated from a program with a master’s or doctoral degree in a clinical nursing specialty area with training in specialized practitioner skills. However, all ARNPs and PAs are required to complete at least three hours of continuing education on the safe and effective prescribing of controlled substances.

The law further requires PAs and ARNPs to designate themselves as controlled substance prescribers on their practitioner profile if they plan to prescribe for the treatment of chronic non-malignant pain. If treating for chronic non-malignant pain, ARNPs and PAs must meet the same standards of practice as physicians.

Under the new law, an ARNP’s and PA’s prescribing privileges for controlled substances listed in Schedule II are limited to a seven-day supply and do not include the prescribing of psychotropic medications for children under 18 years of age, unless prescribed by an ARNP who is a Psychiatric Nurse. The bill also clarifies that only allopathic physicians licensed under chapter 458, Florida Statutes, or osteopathic physicians licensed under chapter 459 Florida Statutes may dispense medications or prescribe controlled substances in a registered pain management clinic. In addition to current exemptions, the bill adds an exemption for referral to a board-certified pain management physician, an addiction medicine specialist and a mental health addiction facility for physicians who are board-eligible or board certified in pain medicine by the American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians the American Association of Physician Specialists.

The Florida Board of Nursing will establish a committee to recommend a negative formulary of controlled substances that ARNPs may or may not prescribe for specific uses, or in specific quantities. The Board must adopt by rule, the committee’s initial recommendations no later than October 31, 2016.

It is important to understand that PAs and ARNPs are not allowed to prescribe any controlled substances prior to January 1, 2017.

Lesson 8 Discussion

Due: Jan 12 at 11:59pmCalendarPublic SpeakingDetailsPerform the following tasks:

Step 1: Post the following on the discussion board.
Respond to the following, and if appropriate, include personal experience as part of your answers.
Integrated communication refers to the energy public speakers bring to their presentation through the excitement of their voice, the sincerity of their face, their body language and gestures, and the intensity of their connection with listeners. When used together, these dimensions of integrated communication can create a powerful public speech. However, sometimes a public speaker’s verbal communication does not match his/her nonverbal signals. For example, imagine a news anchor who smiles while talking about an accident caused by a drunk driver or a speaker persuading an audience to travel to Hawaii with a monotone voice and lackluster appearance.
Think about how you feel when your communication partner’s verbal statements clearly don’t match his/her nonverbal communication? What message does the audience receive when this happens with a speaker?
Give an example of when you experienced this, and explain what could have been done to improve the speaker’s communication integration. If you have never experienced this, think about the examples provided here, and explain the steps public speakers in general should take to ensure their verbal communication matches their nonverbal signals.
