If “The 7000 nurse practitioners in Mississippi are not asking you to allow them to do anything they are not already doing,” Scoggin. Then what is the point of the bill? Remove oversight. What’s wrong with that? @MSTODAYnews @jbryan522 @dochorne @MSMA1
Oversight keeps standards of medical practice in place. Where else do we see this? CMS. All hospitals are federally required to annually prove they meet the conditions of participation. @DelbertHosemann @bricewigginsMS
Regulation of physicians and non physician providers who don’t work at hospitals occurs at a state level. Reporting to the board and collaboration with physicians is one way to ensure medical standards are met. HB1303 removes requirements for that simple process. @DelbertHosemann
What’s wrong with less oversight in medical care? Go back thirty years and see where hospitals were with sepsis, stroke, MI. Oversight gives quality feedback to the healthcare system.
Could a hospital choose not to have oversight? Sure. Then they would lose accreditation and payment. They could not show their patients they met the standards. No accreditation certificate. Is there another standard they could pick? No. There is one standard of practice.
