You Asked: 

Will HB 138 allow an EMS to follow a written DNR-CC and DNR-CCA orders from a nurse practitioner (NP) or physician assistant (PA)?

We Answered

Yes. HB 138 has passed both the Ohio House and Senate, and is now back in the House to concur with Senate changes before it would go to the Governor for signature.  Once signed, the bill would become law and would be effective in 90 days after signature. LeadingAge Ohio has been supportive of this bill and is encouraged that NP’s and PA’s may be able to sign DNRCC and DNR-CCA orders and have them honored soon. Please watch the LeadingAge Ohio Home Health and Hospice newsletter or the Source for additional updates.
