The nurse anesthesia profession alsosupports public and institutional policy which enables maximumutilization of CRNA's and their ability to work within their full andlegal scope of practice. Numerous outcome studies have demonstrated that there is no difference in the quality of care provided by CRNA's and their physician anesthesiologist counterparts. Educational/Professional Development: The nurse anesthesia specialtyrequires the development of expert clinical judgment skills andcritical thinking capabilities that prepare the nurse anesthetist tosafely engage in the full scope of anesthesia practice as defined bythe profession. The educational preparation of certified registerednurse anesthetists (CRNA's) is conducted in more than 100 accreditedgraduate-level programs throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.Graduates of accredited nurse anesthesia educational programs must passthe rigorous national certification examination for nurse anesthetistsin order to become qualified to practice as a CRNA. Recertification,which includes requirements for anesthesia practice as well ascontinuing education, must be successfully accomplished every two yearsin order to continue to practice as a CRNA. AANA, as well as externalorganizations, provide both in-person and online continuing education opportunities for CRNA's. Scope of Practice: Nurse anesthetists have a documented history ofproviding safe, high-quality anesthesia care. Today, nearly 150 yearsafter the profession's humble yet heroic beginnings on the battlefieldsof the Civil War, certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) arethe hands-on providers of more than 32 million anesthetics given topatients each year in the United States. The longevity and growth ofthe specialty can be attributed directly to nurse anesthetists'commitment to excellence and patient safety, their willingness toprovide services when and where needed, and the provision of thoseservices at reasonable cost. They are qualified to make independentjudgments concerning all aspects of anesthesia care based on theirfor the anesthesia care they provide and are recognized in state law inall 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.With its stated mission of "advancing patient safety, practice excellence, and its members' profession," the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) has been committed to improving the quality of anesthesia care provided by nurse anesthetists since it was established in 1931. To that end, the AANA has developed standards for anesthesia care and pain management.. Additionally, the AANA supports CRNA participation in continuing education programs, patient, quality and safety research, patient satisfaction, advancement in anesthesia techniques and technology, and the development of anesthesia practice standards and guidelines.Working in collaboration with surgeons, physician anesthesiologists,and other qualified healthcare professionals, CRNA's practice in everysetting in which anesthesia is delivered: traditional hospital surgicalsuites and obstetrical delivery rooms; critical access hospitals;ambulatory surgical centers; the offices of dentists, podiatrists,ophthalmologists, plastic surgeons and pain management specialists;U.S. military, public health services, and Department of VeteransAffairs healthcare facilities. 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 129 0 1 100 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 9 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X Kim Paczesny 8476551120 222 S Prospect Avenue Park Ridge IL 60068 Sharon P Pearce President 35.00 1.00 X X 97200 0 0 Juan F Quintana President-Elect 12.00 1.00 X X 1200 0 0 Cheryl L Nimmo Vice President 3.00 0.00 X X 16400 0 0 Bruce Weiner Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 7500 0 0 Dean T Mazurek Director 2.50 0.00 X 7400 0 0 Debra Barber Director 2.50 0.00 X 3750 0 0 Randall D Moore Director 2.50 0.00 X 3750 0 0 Mark G Odden Director 2.50 0.00 X 7200 0 0 Kate Jansky Director 2.50 0.00 X 3700 0 0 Linda J Goetz Director 2.50 0.00 X 3750 0 0 Garry J Brydges Director 2.50 0.00 X 3750 0 0 Dennis Bless Former President 35.00 1.00 X 66600 0 0 John F Hanlon Former Vice President 3.00 0.00 X 14800 0 0 Wanda O Wilson Executive Director 40.00 8.40 X 372005 0 52039 Margaret Jung Chief Operating Officer 35.00 7.40 X 233332 0 37219 Kim Paczesny Senior Director, Finance 40.00 0.00 X 197375 0 26091 Francis J Purcell Senior Dir., Federal Gvrnmt.

The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, AANA may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of AANA and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. 1 Europe 0 0 Grant to recipient located in region 112145 0 0 0 0 0 0 112145 0 112145 Europe General Support 112145 Wire Transfer 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 Part I, Line 2: The organization granted funds to an organization for which it is affiliated.

The purpose of the ECC, assisted by its general counsel, is to ensure compliance with all relevant legal requirements and a meaningful assessment of evaluation of executive compensation. Recently, the ECC has employed PwC to perform a comprehensive assessment of the ED/CEO evaluation tools and to benchmark its ED/CEO compensation. After identifying an appropriate peer universe, an assessment was made that verified the appropriateness of the current compensation of the AANA's ED/CEO.
