The Senate Resolution urges the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners, the Louisiana State Board of Dentistry, and the Louisiana State Board of Nursing to make information about collaborative practice agreements publicly accessible to patients. Collaborative practice involves the joint management of patient care by licensed healthcare professionals, and these agreements outline the roles and responsibilities of each provider involved. Given that Louisiana law requires advanced practice registered nurses to collaborate with physicians or dentists, it is essential for patients to be informed about their healthcare team.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of transparency in healthcare, allowing patients to understand who is involved in their care and the specific roles of each provider. It requests that the regulatory boards provide details such as the names and license numbers of participating providers, the role of the advanced practice registered nurse, and any specialty areas of the physicians or dentists involved. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the relevant state boards to ensure they are aware of this request.
