What is a collaborative practice agreement called in Georgia?

In Georgia, the collaborative practice agreement for nurse practitioners is called a nurse protocol or nurse protocol agreement123. This agreement is the written document signed by an APRN and a delegating physician through which the physician authorizes specific medical acts to the APRN1.

Administrative requirements include filing the nurse protocol agreement with the Georgia Composite Medical Board for review4, updating it annually5, and ensuring it contains specified elements such as party information, delegated acts, consultation procedures, and review schedules6. These steps help maintain compliance and clearly define the scope of delegated practice for the APRN and the physician.
