Senate Concurrent Resolution No. by Senator Luneau urges the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners, the Louisiana State Board of Dentistry, and the Louisiana State Board of Nursing to verify and publicly provide access to collaborative practice agreements among nurse practitioners, physicians, and dentists. The resolution emphasizes the importance of collaborative practice in healthcare, which involves joint management of patient care by licensed professionals, and highlights the need for transparency in these agreements to enhance patient-centered care. By making this information accessible, patients can better understand their healthcare team and the roles of each provider, ultimately leading to improved trust, satisfaction, and health outcomes.

Additionally, the resolution calls for coordination among the state healthcare licensing boards to facilitate the verification and sharing of these agreements. It specifies that public access should include details such as the names and license numbers of participating providers, the roles of advanced practice registered nurses, and any specialty areas of the collaborating physicians or dentists. The overarching goal is to promote better health outcomes for Louisiana residents by ensuring efficient healthcare delivery and increasing access to necessary services.
