American College of Nurse Practitioners (ACNP) Is Asking
For Assistance Legislation titled the "Health Care Truth and Transparency
Act" (H.R.
5688) has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representative by representative
John Sullivan (R-OK). While the legislation purports to provide patients
with information about who provides their health care, it actually proves
more insidious. Representative Sullivan states patients are confused
about qualifications of those providing their health care and those health
professionals are not being honest with their patients about their level
and type of education, experience, and training. There has been no evidence
brought forward though. ACNP believes that H.R. 5688 is one more back-door
tactic to undermine the authority of nurse practitioners and other health
professionals, erode consumer confidence in health professionals other
than physicians and dentists, and limit ability of a wide-array of health
professionals to provide cost-effective, quality health care. If you
would like to help ACNP, please go to www.acnpweb.org for more information
and guidance on how to do this. Practice Guidelines Now Available CSAOHN Practice Guidelines of Occupational and Environmental
