All health care workers [HCW](other than MD's) may practice strictly within their "scope" of practice, as defined in legal regulations. However, their actual skills and competencies either grow or shrink with actual clinical practice experience, (or lack thereof). If regulations were designed to "flex" with the actual clinical skills of HCW's, then regulation would be more meaningful, would reduce instances of medical malpractice claims and would provide incentives to record clinical information while improving reports made to regulators.

Your headline inspired a vision of something entirely different. The concept of choice in media; that the regulator in a media broadcast space provide for all genre of social media, appearing as universal human rights. Regulation as inspiring human rights would ensure media plurality, liberal, authoritarian, libertarian and conservative in all media ownership cells, that in every broadcast region, every person is exposed to the likely nature of their choices. Waging class wars for elevated status to a few is soo last millenia. How do we get to human rights without regulation... but in this regard, regulation implies supporting the arts, sciences and education for all peoples... values that underly the very concept of western knowledge on which science is bolted. Ranting there.. sorry, just i was thinking about regulation and wondering whether so much is needed, or rather nurturing and support. Modern business management is designed to be cooperative. "empowerment" and all that. What is fair regulation if it is not an open negotiation amongst equals in a hall where justice is revered? Regulation suggests that one party has more ethical right to intervene in a process, and certainly any gardener will advise intervening on behalf of a healthy garden. Systemic problems need an empowered single lightweight regulator.

I think I understand this S.A.R. concept, and it's the way things should be, but is the opposite of how things are going towards... Someone was telling me about ISO9000 Certification, and how although they were being trained in an entire process, the scope of their job could not be overreached, and if something went wrong, they were not allowed to correct it, but call the person whose job it was, who would arrive too late but to say the whole system is ruined and should be completely replaced. ... In this case, if someone flatlines and there's a defibrillator and you are the only one around who qualified to use it, though you may be a floorsweeper, wouldn't reason demand that you use it? Perhaps since standard procedures are designed for idiots, only Certified Idiots should be bound by them!
