| 47 | | - | SECTION 1. The legislature finds that advanced practice registered nurses provide a wide variety of health care services to people across the State. The legislature further finds that existing law requires each hospital within the State to allow advanced practice registered nurses to practice at the hospital within the full scope of their authorized practice, including practice as primary care providers. Advanced practice registered nurses are also recognized as participating primary care providers for insurance purposes under the State's insurance code. Despite these facts, certain sections of existing law have not been amended to include advanced practice registered nurses in areas concerning mental health directives and disability determinations for purposes of income tax laws. Accordingly, these statutes should be expanded to authorize increased participation by advanced practice registered nurses and to recognize appropriately trained advanced practice registered nurses as the primary care providers that they are. The legislature further finds that authorizing increased participation by advanced practice registered nurses in certain circumstances will further enable improved access to health care services, expedite the processing of paperwork, and provide optimal care at the initial point of access for Hawaii patients, especially in rural and medically underserved areas. The purpose of this Act is to improve patient access to medical care and services by: (1) Authorizing advanced practice registered nurses to order, assess, and certify home health care eligibility for medicare beneficiaries; (2) Authorizing advanced practice registered nurses to certify whether a person is totally disabled under the state income tax code; (3) Authorizing advanced practice registered nurses to make capacity determinations for purposes of advance mental health care directives; and (4) Adding advanced practice registered nurses as primary providers in advance mental health care directives. SECTION 2. Chapter 457, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows: "§457- Advanced practice registered nurses; home health care services; medicare certifications. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, an advanced practice registered nurse, as authorized by title 42 U.S.C. section 1395f, and who practices within the nurse's appropriate practice specialty, may order, assess, and certify home health care eligibility for medicare beneficiaries; provided that the nurse has a valid, unrevoked, and unsuspended license obtained in accordance with this chapter." SECTION 3. Section 235-1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending the definition of "person totally disabled" to read as follows: ""Person totally disabled" means a person who is totally and permanently disabled, either physically or mentally, which results in the person's inability to engage in any substantial gainful business or occupation. The disability shall be certified [to] by a: (1) Physician or osteopathic physician licensed under chapter 453[;] or an advanced practice registered nurse licensed under chapter 457; (2) Qualified out-of-state physician or advanced practice registered nurse who is currently licensed to practice in the state in which the physician or advanced practice registered nurse resides; or (3) Commissioned medical officer in the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, or Public Health Service, engaged in the discharge of the officer's official duty. Certification shall be on forms prescribed by the department of taxation." SECTION 4. Section 327G-2, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended as follows: 1. By adding a new definition to be appropriately inserted and to read: ""Advanced practice registered nurse" means a person licensed as an advanced practice registered nurse pursuant to chapter 457." 2. By amending the definition of "primary physician" to read: ""Primary [physician"] provider" means a physician or advanced practice registered nurse designated by a principal or the principal's agent or guardian to have primary responsibility for the principal's health care, including mental health care or, in the absence of a designation or if the designated physician or advanced practice registered nurse is not reasonably available, a physician or advanced practice registered nursed who undertakes the responsibility." 3. By amending the definition of "supervising health care provider" to read: ""Supervising health care provider" means the primary [physician] provider or the [physician's] primary provider's designee, or the health care provider or the provider's designee who has undertaken primary responsibility for a principal's health care, that includes mental health care." SECTION 5. Section 327G-7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsections (d) and (e) to read as follows: "(d) For the purposes of this chapter, the determination that a principal lacks capacity shall be made by the supervising health care provider who is a physician or advanced practice registered nurse and one other physician, advanced practice registered nurse, or licensed psychologist after both have conducted an examination of the principal. Upon examination and a joint determination that the principal lacks capacity, the supervising health care provider shall promptly note the determination in the principal's medical record, including the facts and professional opinions that form the basis of the determination, and shall promptly notify the agent that the principal lacks capacity and that the advance mental health care directive has been invoked. (e) The determination that a principal has recovered capacity shall be made by the supervising health care provider who is a physician[.] or advanced practice registered nurse. The supervising health care provider shall promptly note the recovery of capacity in the principal's medical record, and shall promptly notify the agent that the principal has recovered capacity." SECTION 6. Section 327G-10, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (e) to read as follows: "(e) A physician [or], licensed psychologist, or advanced practice registered nurse, who in good faith determines that the principal has or lacks capacity in accordance with this chapter to decide whether to invoke an advance mental health care directive, is not subject to criminal prosecution, civil liability, or professional disciplinary action for making and acting upon that determination." SECTION 7. Section 327G-14, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows: "§327G-14 Optional form. The following sample form may be used to create an advance mental health care directive.
