A written cooperation agreement is required, and the agreement must be signed by both the NP and the doctor and accept the details of their cooperation. Dad. Code § 49.21.251 Similar to 23 other states, Pennsylvania requires nurses to maintain a cooperation agreement (CPA) with a physician as a condition of the state`s professional license. At a recent ltd seminar, Dan Gilman, legal counsel to the Federal Trade Commission`s Office of Policy Planning, provided a relevant framework for examining how mandatory CPAs can impede the delivery of health services to consumers. b) A CRNP with the current approval of the prescribing authority by the Council may prescribe, dispense and administer medicinal products and therapeutic or corrective measures in accordance with the cooperation agreement of the prescribing authority and medicinal products relevant to the SPECIALity CRNP of the following categories: A written agreement between the attending physician and the PA is required. The agreement must include, among other things, the type of monitoring and the location of the practice environment. The agreement must be approved by the State Medical Association. Dad. Code § 49.18.142 (1) Be in writing, identify the parties, including the cooperating physician, the CRNP and at least one locum physician who will allow cooperation if the cooperating physician is not available, add the signature of the CRNP and the cooperating physician and include the date on which the agreement will be signed and the date, on which the agreement enters into force.

(7) Be reviewed and updated by the Parties at least once every 2 years or with any modification of the Agreement. Drugs and therapeutic measures available by prescription must be set out in the written cooperation agreement and relevant to the NP`s specialty. The NP may prescribe controlled substances from List II-V. Dad. Code §49.21.284 (1) The CRNP has engaged in the performance of medical functions and tasks that go beyond the scope of activity authorized for a CRNP, go beyond the scope of the CRNPs specialty or violate the CRNPs Cooperation Agreement, as provided for in the Act and in this subchapter. Mr Gilman`s second consideration is whether the regulation effectively addresses the proposed risks. To date, the conditions of CPAs between nurses and doctors are unknown. In Pennsylvania, agreements are maintained in the nurse`s practice facility without the need for review by the State Board of Nursing or the Board of Medicine. At the state level, only the names of assistant doctors are registered. There is no evidence that agreements contribute to reduced risk and to better safety or quality. a) A CRNP with prescriptive regulatory approval, acting in cooperation with a physician in accordance with a cooperation agreement of the prescriptive authority and within the CRNP specialty, may prescribe and dispense drugs and issue written or oral prescriptions for drugs and other medical therapeutic or corrective measures.

These orders may include: (a) The cooperation agreement between a physician and an NSRB that prescribes and distributes drugs and other medical therapeutic or corrective measures, as set out in section 21.283(a) (with respect to the authority and qualifications to prescribe, dispense and order drugs), must meet the following requirements.
