Certified registered nurse anesthetists in Vermont can now deliver anesthesia care without physician supervision.
In a July 2 letter, Vermont Gov. Phil Scott told CMS the state will opt-out of federal physician supervision requirements, making it the 26th state to do so, according to a July 9 news release from the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology.
“Increased patient demand, limited resources and a state with rural healthcare challenges dictate that a system capable of meeting the needs of Vermont residents be prioritized,” AANA President Jeff Molter said in the release. “By signing the opt-out letter, this has been achieved.”
