Editorial: Should Registered Nurses have the Ability to Analyze Clinical Laboratory Tests? A Response to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Request for Information
Journal Title: Nursing & Healthcare International Journal - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have recently been urged to disallow nurses from analyzing lab tests. This is an interesting issue that has arisen seeing that it is now affecting nurse educators and nurses’ view of their scope of practice. During the presidency of Barack Obama, a regulation was enforced that allowed nurses to analyze clinical laboratory tests. Now the CMS is making a request for information on whether personnel requirements need to be updated.
