Requires New Jersey Board of Nursing to establish Nursing Scribe Program.
This bill requires the New Jersey Board of Nursing to create a Nursing Scribe Program in partnership with approved nursing schools. Under the program, nursing students can earn academic credit by completing a course that teaches electronic medical records documentation, medical terminology, HIPAA compliance, and medical billing and coding. Students must also complete supervised practicum hours providing documentation assistance to licensed nurses during patient encounters. The bill defines nurse scribe services as documentation support that stays within the scope of a nurse's professional licensure.
