The Consensus Model for APRN Regulation: Review and update
2014
T he current policy and demographic environment poses expanded opportunities for ad vanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). Expan sion of Medicaid eligibility in most states, and in creased access to affordable health insurance promised by the Health Insurance Exchanges creat ed through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), signal an increase in the number of individuals seeking healthcare services at all lev els. Likewise, changing demographics indicate a need for improved efficiency and care coordination so as to better manage and maintain rising num bers of aging patients with multiple chronic condi tions. APRNs, including certified nurse practitioners (CNPs), certified nurse midwives (CNMs), clinical nurse specialists (CNSs), and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), care for patients across the healthcare continuum. These health care practitioners (HCPs) are ready and able to provide highquality care for a growing and evermorecomplex patient population.
