APRNs should turn to Texas Board of Nursing guidelines to register their delegating physicians, as the Medical Board has no approval authority for nurses. Physicians are required to register all PAs and APRNs they supervise before delegates begin working for them. If the scope of the delegation changes, physicians must notify the Board of Directors within 30 days of the change. PAs are also required to register their supervising physicians with the Board of Directors before starting their work under the employment agreement or prescriptive agreement.

For prescriptive government agreements entered into before September 1, 2019, factors such as the type of delegate licence and the time spent practicing under an agreement determined the frequency and type of meetings required.

For such agreements, the period during which an APRN or PA exercised under a physician`s delegated normative authority under a prescriptive authorization agreement includes the period of practice under the delegated normative authority of the same physician prior to November 1, 2013. APRNs and PAs must have delegated the authority of a licensed physician to provide the medical aspects of patient care. In the past, this delegation was carried out by protocol or other written authorization. Instead of requiring multiple documents, delegation protocols can now be included in a prescriptive authority agreement document.

Rather, the law provides that the number of cards to be verified is determined by the parties to the prescriptive authority. The number may vary from one exercise parameter to another. Factors such as the length of the practice of the APRN or PA, the length of the joint practice of the physician and the APRN or PA, whether the parties to the prescriptive authority practice together in the same practice setting, and the complexity of the need for patient care should be considered in this decision. However, the law has not changed, requiring a physician to adequately supervise delegates. In all cases, the number or percentage of files reviewed can be an important factor in determining the quality of medical surveillance. (1) be drafted and revised, signed and dated annually by the Parties; For a government agreement entered into on or after September 1, 2019, the agreement must be reviewed and updated by the parties at least once every 2 years or with any amendment to the agreement at least: (7). 2. Indicate the name, address and all professional licence numbers of the Contracting Parties; For agreements entered into on or after September 1, 2019, the length of time a delegate has practised with a physician under a supervised normative authority is no longer relevant to the frequency with which the parties to the prescriptive authority agreement must meet.
