D. , Chief  \nEXECUTIVE SUMMARY  \nLicensing boards and bureaus within the California Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) must ensure that examination programs used in California licensure/credentialing comply with psychometric and legal standards. The public must be reasonably confident that an individual passing an examination has the requisite skills and knowledge to practice safely and competently in the profession.  \nThe American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Family Nurse Practitioner board certification examination (ANCC FNP-BC) is one of several national board certification examinations that are nationally recognized as evidence of specialization in the nurse practitioner (NP) profession. These examinations are used to qualify NPs to practice in California under Standardized Procedures. Standardized Procedures are policies and protocols developed and used by health facilities or health care systems; they specify the functions NPs may perform, the conditions under which they may perform them, and the requirements NPs must meet to perform them. The national board certification examinations are also used to qualify nurse practitioners in other states to practice independently. AB 890 (Wood, Chapter 265, Statutes of 2020) , codified in Business and Professions (B&P) Code § 2837. 103, specifies the requirements through which NPs in California may transition to practicing independently , defined as practicing without Standardized Procedures in specified settings and organizations. B&P Code § 2837.104 specifies additional requirements for independent NP practice outside of those settings or organizations.  \nB&P Code § 2837.105 requires the Board of Registered Nursing (Board) and the Office of Professional Examination Services (OPES) to review these national board certification examinations. Specifically, the Board and OPES must evaluate whether these examinations adequately assess the critical entry level competencies required to safely and effectively practice as an NP as specified in AB 890 and codified in B&P Code § 2837.103. The competencies required to perform these functions were specified in descriptions of practice in California resulting from an occupational analysis (OA) performed by the Board and OPES.  \nIf the Board and OPES identify additional competencies necessary to perform the functions specified in B&P Code § 2837.103 that are not adequately assessed by the national board certification examinations, then the Board will be required to develop a supplemental California examination that assesses the identified competencies.  \nOPES has therefore performed a comprehensive review of the ANCC FNP-BC  \nexamination. The primary purpose of the review was to evaluate the suitability of using  \nthe ANCC FNP-BC examination for the purpose of authorizing a family NP who meets the requirements of B&P Code § 2837.103 to practice independently. OPES evaluated whether the ANCC FNP-BC examination meets professional guidelines and technical standards pursuant to B&P Code § 139 , as required by B&P Code § 2837.105.  \nOPES reviewed documents provided by ANCC to determine whether the following ANCC FNP-BC examination components meet professional guidelines and technical standards: (a) OA ,(b) examination development and scoring ,(c) passing scores and passing rates ,(d) test administration and score reporting , and (e) test security procedures.  \nOPES found that the procedures used to establish and support the validity and defensibility of the components listed above meet professional guidelines and technical standards outlined in the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (2014)(2014 Standards","cbCaivDslaZ7ngXX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivDslaZ7ngXX","pdf",562089,51,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Purpose and regulatory basis\n## OPES review scope and methods\n## Findings on validity and defensibility\n## Recommendations and additional steps\n## Teleconference workshops and linkage evaluation","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the OPES review of the ANCC FNP-BC exam?\",\"answer\":\"To evaluate the suitability of using the ANCC FNP-BC examination for authorizing a family nurse practitioner who meets B\\u0026P Code § 2837.103 to practice independently in California.\"},{\"question\":\"Which components did OPES review to assess technical and professional standards?\",\"answer\":\"OPES reviewed (a) the occupational analysis, (b) examination development and scoring, (c) passing scores and passing rates, (d) test administration and score reporting, and (e) test security procedures.\"},{\"question\":\"What did OPES find regarding validity and defensibility?\",\"answer\":\"OPES found the procedures supporting validity and defensibility for the reviewed components meet professional guidelines and technical standards referenced in the 2014 Standards and B\\u0026P Code § 139.\"},{\"question\":\"What recommendations did OPES make to improve compliance?\",\"answer\":\"OPES recommends phasing out instructors’ services in exam development and standard setting, surveying all certified family NPs during the next occupational analysis, and not recommending online or remote proctoring for high-stakes examinations.\"}]","REVIEW OF THE AMERICAN NURSES CREDENTIALING CENTER (ANCC) FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER BOARD CERTIFICATION EXAMINATION (FNP-BC) - July 2022 | PDF",1790538192,129]
