Recognizing the roles and the contributions of Americas Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) and their critical role in providing quality health care for the public and the Nation's Armed Forces for more than 150 years, through multiple public health emergencies, and beyond.

Impact

By recognizing the importance of CRNAs, House Resolution 55 aims to bolster support for their role within the healthcare system, particularly in light of their integral involvement during public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The resolution encourages healthcare facilities, administrators, and policymakers to maximize the utilization of CRNAs, acknowledging their expertise in anesthesia management, which contributes greatly to patient care and overall healthcare quality.

Summary

House Resolution 55 recognizes the significant contributions of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) in providing vital healthcare services across the United States for over 150 years. The resolution underlines their roles in delivering high-quality, cost-effective anesthesia and pain management care. CRNAs are notably the dominant anesthesiology providers in rural areas, ensuring that residents have access to essential surgical and emergency services in medically underserved regions.

Contention

There are no notable points of contention surrounding HR55 as it serves as a recognition rather than a prescriptive legislative action.
