PROTECT YOUR PATIENTS! ACT NOW TO OPPOSE AB 890
If passed during a vote anticipated on Wednesday, Assembly Bill 890 would grant full practice authority to nurse practitioners (NP). This bill would remove critical patient protections by allowing NPs to practice without physician supervision, putting patients at risk of avoidable complications and poor outcomes.
Contact your Senator NOW to ensure patient safety is protected!
· Senate Pro Tem Toni Atkins @SenToniAtkins
· Senator Anthony Portantino (Chair Appropriations Committee) @Portantino
· Senator Patricia C. Bates (Vice Chair) @SenatorPatBates
· Senator Steven Bradford, member Appropriations Committee @SteveBradford
· Senator Brian Jones, member Appropriations Committee @SenBrianJones
· Senator Bob Wiecowski, member Appropriations Committee @BobWieckowskiCA
Key Points:
§ NPs are valuable members of the healthcare team; however, their training does not provide the expertise required to perform complex diagnosis and care and medically manage patients without supervision.
§ Physicians in key specialties receive extensive training to prevent, immediately recognize, and appropriately handle serious complications that can occur.
Please also share this email with your California colleagues and encourage them to oppose AB 890.
