THE NURSE ANESTHESIA PROFESSION ALSO SUPPORTS PUBLIC AND INSTITUTIONAL POLICY WHICH ENABLES MAXIMUM UTILIZATION OF CRNA'S AND THEIR ABILITY TO WORK WITHIN THEIR FULL AND LEGAL SCOPE OF PRACTICE. THEIR RECORD OF PATIENT SAFETY IS EXCELLENT. ACCORDING TO A 1999 REPORT FROM THE INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE, ANESTHESIA CARE IS NEARLY 50 TIMES SAFER TODAY THAN IT WAS IN THE 1980'S. NUMEROUS OUTCOME STUDIES HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF CARE PROVIDED BY CRNA'S AND THEIR PHYSICIAN ANESTHESIOLOGIST COUNTERPARTS. EDUCATION/PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: THE NURSE ANESTHESIA SPECIALTY REQUIRES THE DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERT CLINICAL JUDGMENT SKILLS AND CRITICAL THINKING CAPABILITIES THAT PREPARE THE NURSE ANESTHETIST TO SAFELY ENGAGE IN THE FULL SCOPE OF ANESTHESIA PRACTICE AS DEFINED BY THE PROFESSION. THE EDUCATIONAL PREPARATION OF CERTIFIED REGISTERED NURSE ANESTHETISTS (CRNA'S) IS CONDUCTED IN MORE THAN 100 ACCREDITED GRADUATE-LEVEL PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND PUERTO RICO. GRADUATES OF ACCREDITED NURSE ANESTHESIA EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS MUST PASS THE RIGOROUS NATIONAL CERTIFICATION EXAMINATION FOR NURSE ANESTHETISTS IN ORDER TO BECOME QUALIFIED TO PRACTICE AS A CRNA. RECERTIFICATION, WHICH INCLUDES REQUIREMENTS FOR ANESTHESIA PRACTICE AS WELL AS CONTINUING EDUCATION, MUST BE SUCCESSFULLY ACCOMPLISHED EVERY TWO YEARS IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO PRACTICE AS A CRNA. THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSE ANESTHETISTS (AANA), AS WELL AS EXTERNAL ORGANIZATIONS, PROVIDES BOTH IN-PERSON AND ONLINE CONTINUING EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR CRNA'S. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) SCOPE OF PRACTICE: NURSE ANESTHETISTS HAVE A DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF PROVIDING SAFE, HIGH-QUALITY ANESTHESIA CARE. TODAY, NEARLY 150 YEARS AFTER THE PROFESSION'S HUMBLE YET HEROIC BEGINNINGS ON THE BATTLEFIELDS OF THE CIVIL WAR, CERTIFIED REGISTERED NURSE ANESTHETISTS (CRNA'S) ARE THE HANDS-ON PROVIDERS OF MORE THAN 32 MILLION ANESTHETICS GIVEN TO PATIENTS EACH YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES. THE LONGEVITY AND GROWTH OF THE SPECIALTY CAN BE ATTRIBUTED DIRECTLY TO NURSE ANESTHETISTS' COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE AND PATIENT SAFETY, THEIR WILLINGNESS TO PROVIDE SERVICES WHEN AND WHERE NEEDED, AND THE PROVISION OF THOSE SERVICES AT REASONABLE COST. THEY ARE QUALIFIED TO MAKE INDEPENDENT JUDGMENTS CONCERNING ALL ASPECTS OF ANESTHESIA CARE BASED ON THEIR EDUCATION, LICENSURE, AND CERTIFICATION. CRNA'S ARE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ANESTHESIA CARE THEY PROVIDE AND ARE RECOGNIZED IN STATE LAW IN ALL 50 STATES, THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, PUERTO RICO, AND THE VIRGIN ISLANDS. WITH ITS STATED MISSION OF "ADVANCING PATIENT SAFETY AND EXCELLENCE IN ANESTHESIA," 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 PRE-, PERI-, AND POST-ANESTHESIA CARE, AS WELL AS GUIDELINES FOR OBSTETRICAL ANALGESIA AND ANESTHESIA, WASTE GAS MANAGEMENT, AND INFECTION CONTROL THAT ARE ACKNOWLEDGED BY NURSING, MEDICAL, AND ALLIED HEALTH SPECIALTY GROUPS. ADDITIONALLY, THE AANA FOSTERS CRNA PARTICIPATION IN AND SUPPORT FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMS, PATIENT SAFETY RESEARCH, PATIENT SATISFACTION SURVEYS, THE ADVANCEMENT OF ANESTHESIA TECHNIQUES AND TECHNOLOGY, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRACTICE STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES. NUMEROUS STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT ANESTHESIA CARE PROVIDED BY CRNA'S AND PHYSICIAN ANESTHESIOLOGISTS, WHETHER WORKING INDEPENDENTLY OR TOGETHER, HAS NEVER BEEN SAFER. ACCORDING TO THE 1999 INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE REPORT "TO ERR IS HUMAN: BUILDING A SAFER HEALTH SYSTEM," ANESTHESIA IS NEARLY 50 TIMES SAFER THAN IT WAS IN THE 1980'S. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS INCLUDE ADVANCES IN ANESTHETIC DRUGS, MONITORING TECHNOLOGY, PRACTICE STANDARDS AND TECHNIQUES, AND THE PREPARATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION OF CRNA'S AND ANESTHESIOLOGISTS. WORKING IN COLLABORATION WITH SURGEONS, PHYSICIAN ANESTHESIOLOGISTS, AND OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, CRNA'S PRACTICE IN EVERY SETTING IN WHICH ANESTHESIA IS DELIVERED: TRADITIONAL HOSPITAL SURGICAL SUITES AND OBSTETRICAL DELIVERY ROOMS; CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS; AMBULATORY SURGICAL CENTERS; THE OFFICES OF DENTISTS, PODIATRISTS, OPHTHALMOLOGISTS, PLASTIC SURGEONS, AND PAIN MANAGEMENT SPECIALISTS; AND U.S. MILITARY, PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES, AND DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS HEALTHCARE FACILITIES. WHEN ANESTHESIA IS ADMINISTERED BY A NURSE ANESTHETIST, IT IS RECOGNIZED AS THE PRACTICE OF NURSING; WHEN ADMINISTERED BY AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST, IT IS RECOGNIZED AS THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEIR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND IS IN NURSING OR MEDICINE, ALL ANESTHESIA PROFESSIONALS GIVE ANESTHESIA THE SAME WAY. false false false false true false false false false false true false false false true true false true false false true true false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false true 119 0 true 130 true true true false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false true true true true true false false true true true true true true true true false X Kim Paczesny 8476551120 222 S PROSPECT AVENUE PARK RIDGE IL 60068 DENNIS BLESS 1.00 1.00 X X 43800 0 0 HENRY TALLEY 1.00 0.00 X X 10200 0 0 JANICE IZLAR 35.00 1.00 X X 76525 0 0 SHARON PEARCE 1.00 0.00 X X 10200 0 0 ANTHONY CHIPAS 1.00 0.00 X 3650 0 0 BERNADETTE HENRICHS 1.00 0.00 X 3400 0 0 DANETTE PLAUTZ 1.00 0.00 X 3650 0 0 DONNA JASINSKI 1.00 0.00 X 7300 0 0 JOHN HANLON 1.00 0.00 X 2900 0 0 JUAN QUINTANA 1.00 0.00 X 7500 0 0 STEVE SERTICH 1.00 0.00 X 7300 0 0 MARGARET JUNG 35.00 7.40 X 0 0 0 WANDA WILSON 40.00 8.40 X 321429 0 44745 CHRISTINE ZAMBRICKI 35.00 0.00 X 239857 0 5464 FRANK PURCELL 35.00 0.00 X 193293 0 32092 JOHN PRESTON 35.00 0.00 X 196751 0 27359 LORRAINE JORDAN 20.00 20.00 X 0 183331 33157 LUIS RIVERA 35.00 0.00 X 178016 0 29939 1305771 183331 172756 18 false true false 720 STRATEGIES LLC 1111 19TH STREET NW SUITE 1180 WASHINGTON DC 20036 CONSULTING SERVICES 453068 SMG 100 SOUTH WEST TEMPLE SALT LAKE CITY UT 84101 CONSULTING 444307 CROWE HORWATH LLP PO BOX 7 SOUTH BEND IN 46624 AUDIT AND TAX SERVICES 272868 ALSTON & BIRD PO BOX 933124 ATLANTA GA 31193 LEGAL 210204 DUANE MORRIS LLP 30 SOUTH 17TH STREET PHILADELPHIA PA 19103 LEGAL SERVICES 209196 20 0 ADVERTISING REVENUE 541800 747311 747311 LABEL SALES 541870 148302 148302 SERVICE FEES 900099 1152765 1152765 MEMBERSHIP DUES 900099 15653365 15653365 WORKSHOP & CONFERENCE FEES 900099 3066582 3066582 614768 614768 0 0 21383093 379821 379821 0 696468 696468 638243 638243 0 638243 5860 632383 8049643 7813543 236100 0 236100 236100 0 0 250227 103929 146298 146298 MISC INCOME 900099 341008 341008 0 0 0 0 0 0 341008 23821031 20976790 753171 2091070 3054165 115100 680781 7080195 1054491 744261 535821 398720 145218 5155 96752 836017 279208 1530154 1061094 895162 1473131 19151 881272 101149 PRINTING & PUBLICATION 869128 BOARD & COMMITTEE EXPENSE 703543 SPEAKER EXPENSE 301504 INCOME TAX EXPENSE 29125 3426 22893723 0 0 0 1016676 2204141 15088685 12436172 565943 454581 0 0 155748 115308 239940 312331 15451781 8334112 7623849 7117669 11726858 13958346 0 0 0 0 2181530 1582298 38599229 38180846 5048822 9399358 7766504 6627883 0 3665738 64967 16481064 16092208 X 22118165 21872051 216587 22118165 22088638 38599229 38180846 X 927308 32160 -988995 X false true X true false false false true 15653365 963334 221425 1184759 2121000 0 1575000 1575000 4008514 1574921 2433593 3560595 2149437 1411158 6307672 4609754 1697918 0 7117669 0 DUES PAYABLE TO STATE ASSOCIATIONS 33530 DUE TO AFFILIATES 31437 64967 X FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 AANA IS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(6) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND, EXCEPT FOR TAXES PERTAINING TO UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME, IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES.

THE CERTIFICATION EXAMINATION WAS FIRST ADMINISTERED IN 1945, AND MANDATORY CONTINUING EDUCATION BECAME EFFECTIVE IN 1978. IN 1986, A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN NURSING OR A RELATED DEGREE WAS REQUIRED FOR ADMISSION TO NURSE ANESTHESIA PROGRAMS, AND BY 1998 ALL PROGRAMS WERE REQUIRED TO BE AT THE GRADUATE LEVEL, AWARDING AT LEAST A MASTER'S DEGREE. IN 2007, THE AANA ADOPTED A POSITION STATEMENT SUPPORTING DOCTORAL EDUCATION FOR ENTRY INTO PRACTICE BY 2025.THE EDUCATIONAL COST TO PREPARE CRNA'S IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN THE COST TO PREPARE PHYSICIAN ANESTHESIOLOGISTS. BECOMING A CRNA USUALLY TAKES A MINIMUM OF SEVEN TO EIGHT YEARS (INCLUDING A YEAR OF ACUTE CARE NURSING EXPERIENCE); BECOMING AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST USUALLY TAKES 12 YEARS. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT APPROXIMATELY 10 CRNA'S CAN BE EDUCATED FOR THE COST OF ONE ANESTHESIOLOGIST. ADDITIONALLY, CRNA'S ENTER THE WORKFORCE AND START PROVIDING PATIENT CARE FOUR YEARS SOONER THAN ANESTHESIOLOGISTS, ANOTHER BENEFIT TO THE OVERALL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.
