House Resolution No. 275.

A resolution to urge the Health Policy Committee to appoint a subcommittee to study the scope of practice for health professions.

Whereas, The field of health care is in the midst of swift changes. New technologies, procedures, and medications are being incorporated into health care each year. In addition, pressures to cope with costs are also bringing great changes to facilities and to the work being done by health professionals; and

Whereas, Concerns have been raised that there is sometimes a blurring of the responsibilities of the various medical subspecialties. State regulating authority, which involves the leadership of representatives of the various professions, is an important process to safeguard the public from inappropriate practices. Licensing requirements, which are set with input from those men and women working in the respective fields, are designed to ensure that professionals are fully qualified to carry out specific functions. This key safeguard is lost if people are practicing outside of their area of expertise and authority; and

Whereas, It is incumbent on this legislative body to ensure that the state's statutes and regulations are serving our citizens effectively; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Health Policy Committee to appoint a subcommittee to study the scope of practice for health professions, including whether and to what extent health specialty duties are being carried out by personnel not licensed in the specialty.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.
