How often does a collaborative agreement need to be reviewed in Virginia?

In Virginia, a collaborative practice agreement does not have a state-mandated review interval; the frequency and manner of reviews are determined by the patient care team and specified within the agreement¹². The agreement must include provisions for the periodic review of patient charts or electronic records and must be maintained by the APRN and provided to the Boards upon request¹.

For APRNs authorized for autonomous practice, no practice agreement is required, so there is no collaborative agreement to review; these APRNs must instead consult and collaborate based on patient needs and maintain referral plans for complex cases and emergencies³.

Virginia statutes do not prescribe meeting schedules, but the practice agreement may also specify site visits and other collaboration logistics at a frequency determined by the patient care team¹².
