Question

Is a prescriptive authority agreement required in a hospital or long term care facility-based practice?

Answer

Although it is possible to use a prescriptive authority agreement in a hospital or long term care facility based practice, it is not required.  You may continue to practice under protocols in these settings.  APRNs and PAs must exercise prescriptive authority under one of these delegation mechanisms.
