Answer 1

1. The Hospital Board and Medical Staff Committee

The Joint Commision and Medicare holds the hospital board to grant privileges to the physician and a committee of hospital staff members decide whether to grant it or not. The Hospital's Graduate Education Committee is responsible for implementing the general policies related to education and work environment. The State Medical Board are agencies responsible for licensing medical doctors and investigate violation of medical practice.

2. The Judicial Branch of the Federal Government contains the apparatus for resolving legal disputes over constitutional law.

The legislative branch is responsible for introducing new law and policies in the constitution, while the executive branch ensures that the law is properly followed or obeyed but only judicial branch has the power and appratus to resolving legal disputes over constitutional law.

3. HRSA manages programs that manage/impact the training of healthcare professionals.

It is a government agency responsible for providing improved healthcare facility to distant, isolated and vulnerable residents. It also provides grants in millions to get well trained new generation health care professionals.

4. The Texas Medical Association's policy position on regulations allowing nurse practitioners in Texas to practice independently of physicians is supportive and positive.

Nurse practitioners in Texas have restricted regulations of working under the supervision of physicians or to practice only the work assigned by a doctor or other member of medical team. Working under such scenarios indirectly limits the reach of healthcare and hence the step of the Texas Medical Association's on regulations allowing nurse practitioners in Texas to practice independently of physicians is definitely supportive.
