Bill > LB936

This bill amends existing Nebraska law to allow medical radiographers to use fluoroscopy, a type of medical imaging that shows a continuous X-ray image on a screen, in collaboration with nurse practitioners. Previously, medical radiographers could only use fluoroscopy in conjunction with certified registered nurse anesthetists. This change expands their ability to use this technology under the direction of or in collaboration with nurse practitioners, provided the nurse practitioners have completed appropriate education and training. The bill also clarifies that nurse practitioners can perform and utilize fluoroscopy for procedural guidance and authorized duties after completing approved education and training, and can direct fluoroscopy in collaboration with a licensed medical radiographer. The Uniform Credentialing Act, which governs the licensing and credentialing of health professionals in Nebraska, is referenced as the framework for these new provisions.
