D. , Chief  \nThis occupational analysis report is mandated by California Business and Professions (B&P) Code §§ 139 and 2837.105.  \nEXECUTIVE SUMMARY  \nAB 890 (Wood, Chapter 265, Statutes of 2020) requires the California Board of Registered Nursing (Board) and the Office of Professional Examination Services (OPES) to perform an occupational analysis (OA) of nurse practitioners (NPs) transitioning to independent practice in California.“Transitioning to independent practice” is defined as performing the functions specified in § 2837.103 of the Business and Professions (B&P) Code without Standardized Procedures, first only in specified settings or organizations (B&P Code § 2837.103) and then outside of those settings or organizations (B&P Code § 2837.104) .1 Standardized Procedures are policies and protocols developed and used by health facilities or health care systems in California; they specify the functions NPs may perform, the conditions under which NPs may perform them, and the requirements NPs must meet to perform them.  \nThe purpose of the OA is to define NP practice in terms of the critical competencies that NPs must be able to perform safely and effectively at the time they are authorized to practice independently as an NP within their specialty. Per the California Code of Regulations (16 CCR § 1481), the specialties are:  \n1. Family care  \n2. Adult-gerontology primary care  \n3. Adult-gerontology acute care  \n4. Neonatal care  \n5. Pediatric primary care  \n6. Pediatric acute care  \n7. Women's health care  \n8. Psychiatric mental health care  \nThe OA resulted in eight specialty descriptions of practice that include the competencies required to perform the functions of NPs transitioning to independent practice in California. The competencies in this OA are expressed in the form of tasks and associated knowledge statements. The eight descriptions of practice are structured into content areas.  \nThe results of this OA provide a basis for evaluating the national board certification examinations that are currently used to qualify NPs to practice in California under  \n1 The requirement to conduct this OA is codified in § 2837.105 of the Business and Professions (B&P) Code.  \nStandardized Procedures. AB 890 requires the Board and OPES to evaluate the extent to which these examinations adequately assess the critical clinical competencies required for NPs to safely and effectively perform the functions specified in B&P Code § 2837.103 in transitioning to independent practice.2  \nOPES test specialists began by researching NP practice and practice specialties. This research included reviews of curriculum, education requirements , testing requirements, and experience requirements of states that currently allow NPs to practice independently. Additionally, OPES test specialists conducted literature reviews of national certification examination OAs, research articles, industry publications, and laws and regulations. Next , telephone interviews were conducted with NPs from the eight specialty areas who were working in locations throughout California. The purpose of these interviews was to identify the tasks performed by NPs and to specify the knowledge required to perform those tasks safely and competently. Using the information gathered from the research and the interviews, OPES test specialists developed a preliminary list of tasks performed by NPs for each specialty practice , along with statements of the knowledge needed to perform those tasks.  \nBetween August 2021 and January 2022 , OPES test specialists convened eight workshops to review and finalize the preliminary lists of tasks and associated knowledge statements describing each of the eight NP practice specialties in California.
