CRNAs given full practice authority in Michigan 

Michigan became the 20th state to opt out of the physician supervision requirement for certified registered nurse anesthetists, according to a May 10 news release from the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology.

Anesthesia services are provided predominantly by CRNAs in the state’s critical access hospitals, and CRNAs comprise 68 percent of the state’s anesthesia care providers.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s signing of the bill ensures “patients have access to value-based, high-quality care,” Adam Kuz, CRNA, president of the Michigan Association of Nurse Anesthetists, said in the release. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
