How many charts must a collaborating physician review for a Connecticut NP?

Connecticut does not set a specific number of charts a collaborating physician must review for an APRN. Instead, the written collaborative agreement must spell out a method to review patient outcomes, including the review of medical therapeutics, corrective measures, laboratory tests, and other diagnostic procedures the APRN may prescribe or administer1.
This requirement applies during the APRN’s initial three years of practice, when collaboration with a Connecticut-licensed physician is required1. After completing three years (at least 2,000 hours) of collaborative practice and providing notice to the Commissioner of Public Health, an APRN may practice independently, so no collaboration-based chart-review quota is set by statute2.
