Bill Summary
For legislation to include psychologists in the definition of nursing practice. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend the existing law in Massachusetts to include psychologists in the definition of nursing practice. Specifically, it seeks to insert the word "psychologists" after the word "dentists" in Section 80B of Chapter 112 of the General Laws, which outlines the scope of nursing practice. This change would facilitate the integration of psychologists into the healthcare team and allow for greater collaboration between nurses and psychologists in patient care.
