Bill Summary
Relative to psychiatric nurse mental health clinical specialists. Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery.
AI Summary
This bill allows psychiatric nurse mental health clinical specialists to fulfill requirements that previously had to be done by a physician, such as signing, certifying, or verifying documents related to physical or mental health. The bill specifies that this does not expand the scope of practice for these nurses, and that they can still develop guidelines with a supervising physician. The bill is amending Chapter 112 of the Massachusetts General Laws.
