https://nursing.ok.gov/agcrna20.pdfAttached are draft revisions to the CRNA Inclusionary Formulary, # P-50A for your review. As a
point of information, the Formulary Advisory Council is a statutory committee responsible for
the development and submission to the Board recommendations for an inclusionary formulary
- which lists drugs or categories of drugs that shall be ordered or administered by Certified
Registered Nurse Anesthetists. -
"The Board shall either accept or reject the recommendations
made by the Council. No amendments to the recommended inclusionary formulary may be made
by the Board without the approval of the Formulary Advisory Council." [Oklahoma Nurse
Practice Act, specifically 59 O.S. §567.4b A.3]
Revisions/Rationale:
Changes include additional language to define a CRNA, addition ofthe
statute regarding the Formulary Advisory Council, addition of three new drugs, removal of one
discontinued drug and a date change to the reference.
The proposed revisions are noted in the DRAFT policy attached. Revisions are indicated using
strikethrough for deletions and double underlining for additions.
I have highlighted the changes for easy identification.
