HR2267 Ordering Home Health Care. Good News: U.S. Reps. Allyson Schwartz (D-PA) and Greg Walden (R-OR) introduced The Home Health Planning Improvement Act (HR 2267) that will authorize nurse practitioners to order home health care services.
The AAFP report takes issue with the movement to grant nurse practitioners (NPs) independent practice authority at a time when the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model is being rolled out across the nation. NPs are a vital part of the health care team, says the report, but âthey cannot fulfill the need for a fully trained physician.â.
