Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
A.
				Licensees, including APRNs, RNs and LPNs, who directly or collaboratively
				provide aesthetic healthcare procedures in non-traditional facilities not
				licensed by any state regulatory body specifically to provide aesthetic
				healthcare procedures are required to maintain any combination of education,
				clinical experience, certification, and supervision appropriate to ensure the
				ongoing safety of patients and other staff. Given the non-traditional nature of
				these facilities, licensees must be proactive in maintaining the knowledge and
				skills necessary to perform and assist with aesthetic healthcare procedures and
				work within their scope of practice.
B. Licensees may work in an aesthetic
				healthcare facility only if the facility employs a clinical supervisor who is
				an APRN or other licensed independent healthcare practitioner reasonably known
				to possess the appropriate education, training, and skills to safely perform
				all aesthetic healthcare procedures offered in the facility.
C. Licensees in any practice setting must
				have appropriate training in the specific treatments they provide, as required
				by board rule 16.12.2 NMAC. When assuming non-traditional specific functions
				and procedures which are beyond the licensee's basic educational preparation,
				licensees are responsibility for obtaining reasonably appropriate knowledge,
				skills, and supervision to ensure safe and competent performance of the
				function or procedure. Specific education and training components for aesthetic
				healthcare procedures shall include but are not limited to, a combination of
				practical and didactic instruction; national aesthetic certification;
				techniques and theories; identifying and addressing complications and adverse
				events; and charting and record keeping.
D. Scope of practice for APRNs may include
				aesthetic healthcare procedures with the appropriate population foci,
				licensure, national APRN certification and education.
E. Scope of practice for RNs may include
				aesthetic healthcare procedures with the appropriate education and training
				only if delegated by, and under the indirect supervision of an APRN or other
				clinical supervisor.
F. Scope of
				practice for LPNs may include aesthetic healthcare procedures with the
				appropriate education and training, only if delegated by, and under the direct
				supervision of an APRN or other clinical supervisor. However, LPNs may not
				perform aesthetic injections. LPNs performing certain non-healthcare aesthetic
				procedures may be required to obtain additional licensure from the New Mexico
				board of barbers and cosmetologists. Independent healthcare decisions are not
				within the scope of practice for LPNs.
New Mexico Administrative Code › Title 16 - OCCUPATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LICENSING › Chapter 12 - NURSING AND HEALTH CARE RELATED PROVIDERS › Part 14 - NURSING PRACTICE IN AESTHETIC HEALTHCARE FACILITIES › Section 16.12.14.9 - CLINICAL SUPERVISOR

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
A. An APRN
				may serve as a clinical supervisor in an aesthetic healthcare facility with the
				appropriate population foci, licensure, national APRN certification and
				education. An RN or LPN may not serve as a clinical supervisor in an aesthetic
				healthcare facility.
B. An APRN
				serving as a clinical supervisor is responsible for supervising all aesthetic
				healthcare procedures performed at the aesthetic healthcare facility, which may
				include but are not limited to the following:
(1) possesses the appropriate education,
				training, experience, competence, and ongoing education, to safely administer,
				delegate, and supervise each aesthetic healthcare procedure;
(2) accepts responsibility for the safety of
				the patients treated at the aesthetic healthcare facility;
(3) ensures that staff who perform or assist
				with aesthetic healthcare procedures are trained and qualified;
(4) ensures that necessary equipment and
				supplies, including those needed to address healthcare complications and
				emergencies, are readily available, maintained and safely stored; and
(5) develops or approves and implements
				written protocols for all aesthetic healthcare procedures performed at the
				aesthetic healthcare facility. The protocols must provide sufficient and
				specific details, including guidance on identifying and responding to adverse
				events, to assure that making independent healthcare decisions does not become
				the responsibility of individuals without the appropriate scope of practice to
				make such decisions.
New Mexico Administrative Code › Title 16 - OCCUPATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LICENSING › Chapter 12 - NURSING AND HEALTH CARE RELATED PROVIDERS › Part 14 - NURSING PRACTICE IN AESTHETIC HEALTHCARE FACILITIES › Section 16.12.14.10 - PATIENT CARE

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
A. Licensees
				providing aesthetic healthcare procedures or related health care must establish
				a valid practitioner-patient relationship and are subject to all ethical,
				legal, and practical obligations of such relationship.
B. Prior to a licensee providing any
				aesthetic healthcare procedure, an APRN or other licensed independent
				practitioner must conduct an assessment in a face-to-face examination,
				determine a diagnosis and prescribe a treatment plan for the patient. The APRN
				or other licensed independent practitioner may never delegate the examination,
				diagnosis, or treatment plan.
(1) The initial
				examination must consist of a review of the patient's health history, and a
				physical examination that includes treatment sites, and the determination of a
				diagnosis.
(2) The treatment plan
				should ensure that the patient is a good candidate for each aesthetic
				healthcare procedure and must include instruction on doses, device settings,
				expected duration, and specific treatment sites.

				images, is subject to HIPAA and other legal protections, and use of such
				information must be authorized by the patient.
D. Advertising and marketing of aesthetic
				healthcare procedures is regulated and may not be deceptive, false, or
				misleading. Licensees must only use references to their active license and
				shall not represent to offer services that they do not hold an active license
				to provide.
E. Licensees working at
				an aesthetic healthcare facility who are aware of misuse of patient information
				or advertising have an obligation to protect patient confidentiality and take
				reasonable steps to address such issues with the clinical supervisor or other
				management.
