Discussion Re: the Expansion of Signature Authority for Death Certificates

The Nurse-Physician Advisory Task Force for Colorado Healthcare (NPATCH) is a healthcare policy task force that is housed in the Division of Professions and Occupations at the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA).

NPATCH is exploring the possibility of recommending the ability to certify a person’s death from physicians and coroners, to include advanced practice nurses (e.g., NPs) and physician assistants (PAs), and has invited hospice and home health providers to be a part of the conversation.

Please consider joining their next meeting on February 2^nd at 1:00 PM, where they will be discussing the topic at length.
