Business
Access and Barriers to Care“Consumers deserve high quality, convenience, value and expanded choice in the providers who deliver their core primary care services” (John Rother, AARP, 2010)
Strategies
Inform, engage and motivate government, payers and business in expanding practice opportunities and payment for the full range of primary
care providers.
Position APRNs as a high quality choice for consumers through effective
outreach and marketing.
Identify federal levers to incentivize states to modernize state scope of
practice laws.
All states remove barriers to APRNs practicing to full extent by
2020.
By 2020, payers establish payment policies that recognize consumer choice across the
range of primary care providers.

How CCNA Operates: Federal-Level Work
First “phase” of federal advocacy agenda created early based on need for improved federal funding for nursing education
• Saw health reform as vehicle to win this funding - Medicare GNE
Consumer perspective - consumers such as AARP members need highly educated nurses
Next phase is to remove barriers to APRN care
• AARP Policy Book update
• AARP convened NP Roundtable
• Federal barriers to APRN care – home health care, hospice, admission physical in SNF, hospital privileges, reimbursement
Advocacy is done by AARP staff – Winifred Quinn, Senior Legislative Representative and Peter Reinecke, consultant
Updated AARP Policy Book Language re: Scope of Practice
March 2010
Current state nurse practice acts and accompanying rules should be interpreted and/or amended where necessary to allow APRNs to fully and independently practice as defined by their education and certification.
