Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Policy
  • Nursing Practice
  • Regulatory Affairs

Background:

  • Since 2004, nursing procedures are regulated by fragmented legislative and regulatory articles, not a single decree.
  • Despite laws expanding nursing scope since 2006, authorized procedure lists remain largely outdated for most nurses.
  • This regulatory lag affects theatre nurses and nurse anaesthetists, whose lists have seen some updates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the legislative and regulatory landscape governing nursing procedures in the healthcare system.
  • To highlight the discrepancy between the evolution of nursing practice and existing regulatory frameworks.
  • To underscore the need for updating authorized procedure lists to reflect current healthcare realities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of legislative and regulatory documents pertaining to nursing practice since 2004.
  • Comparative analysis of updated and non-updated lists of authorized nursing procedures.
  • Assessment of the impact of regulatory obsolescence on healthcare delivery.

Main Results:

  • A shift from a single decree to multiple legislative articles for nursing procedures since 2004.
  • Expansion of nursing practice scope through laws and decrees since 2006, with inconsistent updates to authorized procedures.
  • Significant obsolescence in regulatory lists for the majority of nursing roles, contrasting with updates for specialized nurses like theatre nurses and nurse anaesthetists.

Conclusions:

  • The current regulatory lists for nursing procedures are outdated and misaligned with technical advancements in care.
  • Obsolescence in regulations creates a disconnect with the evolving healthcare system organization and patient needs.
  • Urgent revision of nursing practice regulations is required to ensure alignment with contemporary healthcare standards and patient expectations.
