Legislative and Advocacy Activities
Pursuing full practice authority (FPA) is one legislative and advocacy action in which nurse practitioner organizations in Georgia frequently participate. The Georgia Nurse Practitioner Association (GNPA) aggressively supports FPA, which would do away with the necessity that nurse practitioners establish a collaboration agreement with physicians. To advance FPA legislation, GNPA engages in lobbying activities and works with state legislators. In states that have previously approved FPA, they offer statistics and evidence-based studies demonstrating the beneficial effects of nurse practitioners’ autonomy. By funding FPA, GNPA hopes to increase access to healthcare, particularly in Georgia’s rural and underdeveloped medical areas.
In Georgia, nurse practitioner groups also aim to enhance telehealth policy. To ensure that nurse practitioners are covered under telehealth reimbursement requirements, the GNPA lobbies for fair policies. GNPA works with other healthcare groups and telehealth stakeholders to provide recommendations to the state legislature. They push for fair compensation for nurse practitioners offering telehealth services by participating in hearings and committee meetings. GNPA seeks to increase patient access to healthcare services across Georgia, particularly in regions with limited access to in-person treatment, by advocating improvements to telehealth policy.
