An act relating to the role of advanced practice providers in hospital care

Summary

The bill amends Vermont hospital licensing and patient‑rights statutes so an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) can be the attending professional responsible for a patient’s care. It requires hospitals to ensure every inpatient is under the care of either a licensed physician or an APRN and adds related disclosure and record‑keeping rules. The change expands who can lead patient care while keeping physician consultation available.
