THE NURSE ANESTHESIA PROFESSION ALSO SUPPORTS PUBLIC AND INSTITUTIONAL POLICY WHICH ENABLES MAXIMUM UTILIZATION OF CRNA'S AND THEIR ABILITY TO WORK WITHIN THEIR FULL AND LEGAL SCOPE OF PRACTICE. THEIR RECORD OF PATIENT SAFETY IS EXCELLENT. ACCORDING TO A 1999 REPORT FROM THE INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE, ANESTHESIA CARE IS NEARLY 50 TIMES SAFER TODAY THAN IT WAS IN THE 1980'S. NUMEROUS OUTCOME STUDIES HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF CARE PROVIDED BY CRNA'S AND THEIR PHYSICIAN ANESTHESIOLOGIST COUNTERPARTS. EDUCATION/PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: THE NURSE ANESTHESIA SPECIALTY REQUIRES THE DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERT CLINICAL JUDGMENT SKILLS AND CRITICAL THINKING CAPABILITIES THAT PREPARE THE NURSE ANESTHETIST TO SAFELY ENGAGE IN THE FULL SCOPE OF ANESTHESIA PRACTICE AS DEFINED BY THE PROFESSION. THE EDUCATIONAL PREPARATION OF CERTIFIED REGISTERED NURSE ANESTHETISTS (CRNA'S) IS CONDUCTED IN MORE THAN 100 ACCREDITED GRADUATE-LEVEL PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND PUERTO RICO. GRADUATES OF ACCREDITED NURSE ANESTHESIA EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS MUST PASS THE RIGOROUS NATIONAL CERTIFICATION EXAMINATION FOR NURSE ANESTHETISTS IN ORDER TO BECOME QUALIFIED TO PRACTICE AS A CRNA. RECERTIFICATION, WHICH INCLUDES REQUIREMENTS FOR ANESTHESIA PRACTICE AS WELL AS CONTINUING EDUCATION, MUST BE SUCCESSFULLY ACCOMPLISHED EVERY TWO YEARS IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO PRACTICE AS A CRNA. THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSE ANESTHETISTS (AANA), AS WELL AS EXTERNAL ORGANIZATIONS, PROVIDES BOTH IN-PERSON AND ONLINE CONTINUING EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR CRNA'S.THE EDUCATION OF NURSE ANESTHETISTS HAS BEEN A PRIORITY OF THE AANA SINCE IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1931. THE CERTIFICATION EXAMINATION WAS FIRST ADMINISTERED IN 1945, AND MANDATORY CONTINUING EDUCATION BECAME EFFECTIVE IN 1978. IN 1986, A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN NURSING OR A RELATED DEGREE WAS REQUIRED FOR ADMISSION TO NURSE ANESTHESIA PROGRAMS, AND BY 1998 ALL PROGRAMS WERE REQUIRED TO BE AT THE GRADUATE LEVEL, AWARDING AT LEAST A MASTER'S DEGREE. IN 2007, THE AANA ADOPTED A POSITION STATEMENT SUPPORTING DOCTORAL EDUCATION FOR ENTRY INTO PRACTICE BY 2025.THE EDUCATIONAL COST TO PREPARE CRNA'S IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN THE COST TO PREPARE PHYSICIAN ANESTHESIOLOGISTS. BECOMING A CRNA USUALLY TAKES A MINIMUM OF SEVEN TO EIGHT YEARS (INCLUDING A YEAR OF ACUTE CARE NURSING EXPERIENCE); BECOMING AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST USUALLY TAKES 12 YEARS. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT APPROXIMATELY 10 CRNA'S CAN BE EDUCATED FOR THE COST OF ONE ANESTHESIOLOGIST. ADDITIONALLY, CRNA'S ENTER THE WORKFORCE AND START PROVIDING PATIENT CARE FOUR YEARS SOONER THAN ANESTHESIOLOGISTS, ANOTHER BENEFIT TO THE OVERALL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. SCOPE OF PRACTICE: NURSE ANESTHETISTS HAVE A DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF PROVIDING SAFE, HIGH-QUALITY ANESTHESIA CARE. TODAY, NEARLY 150 YEARS AFTER THE PROFESSION'S HUMBLE YET HEROIC BEGINNINGS ON THE BATTLEFIELDS OF THE CIVIL WAR, CERTIFIED REGISTERED NURSE ANESTHETISTS (CRNA'S) ARE THE HANDS-ON PROVIDERS OF MORE THAN 32 MILLION ANESTHETICS GIVEN TO PATIENTS EACH YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES. THE LONGEVITY AND GROWTH OF THE SPECIALTY CAN BE ATTRIBUTED DIRECTLY TO NURSE ANESTHETISTS' COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE AND PATIENT SAFETY, THEIR WILLINGNESS TO PROVIDE SERVICES WHEN AND WHERE NEEDED, AND THE PROVISION OF THOSE SERVICES AT REASONABLE COST. THEY ARE QUALIFIED TO MAKE INDEPENDENT JUDGMENTS CONCERNING ALL ASPECTS OF ANESTHESIA CARE BASED ON THEIR EDUCATION, LICENSURE, AND CERTIFICATION. CRNA'S ARE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ANESTHESIA CARE THEY PROVIDE AND ARE RECOGNIZED IN STATE LAW IN ALL 50 STATES, THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, PUERTO RICO, AND THE VIRGIN ISLANDS. WITH ITS STATED MISSION OF "ADVANCING PATIENT SAFETY AND EXCELLENCE IN ANESTHESIA," THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSE ANESTHETISTS (AANA) HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF ANESTHESIA CARE PROVIDED BY NURSE ANESTHETISTS SINCE IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1931. TO THAT END, THE AANA HAS DEVELOPED STANDARDS FOR PRE-, PERI-, AND POST-ANESTHESIA CARE, AS WELL AS GUIDELINES FOR OBSTETRICAL ANALGESIA AND ANESTHESIA, WASTE GAS MANAGEMENT, AND INFECTION CONTROL THAT ARE ACKNOWLEDGED BY NURSING, MEDICAL, AND ALLIED HEALTH SPECIALTY GROUPS. ADDITIONALLY, THE AANA FOSTERS CRNA PARTICIPATION IN AND SUPPORT FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMS, PATIENT SAFETY RESEARCH, PATIENT SATISFACTION SURVEYS, THE ADVANCEMENT OF ANESTHESIA TECHNIQUES AND TECHNOLOGY, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRACTICE STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES. NUMEROUS STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT ANESTHESIA CARE PROVIDED BY CRNA'S AND PHYSICIAN ANESTHESIOLOGISTS, WHETHER WORKING INDEPENDENTLY OR TOGETHER, HAS NEVER BEEN SAFER. ACCORDING TO THE 1999 INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE REPORT "TO ERR IS HUMAN: BUILDING A SAFER HEALTH SYSTEM," ANESTHESIA IS NEARLY 50 TIMES SAFER THAN IT WAS IN THE 1980'S. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS INCLUDE ADVANCES IN ANESTHETIC DRUGS, MONITORING TECHNOLOGY, PRACTICE STANDARDS AND TECHNIQUES, AND THE PREPARATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION OF CRNA'S AND ANESTHESIOLOGISTS. WORKING IN COLLABORATION WITH SURGEONS, PHYSICIAN ANESTHESIOLOGISTS, AND OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, CRNA'S PRACTICE IN EVERY SETTING IN WHICH ANESTHESIA IS DELIVERED: TRADITIONAL HOSPITAL SURGICAL SUITES AND OBSTETRICAL DELIVERY ROOMS; CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS; AMBULATORY SURGICAL CENTERS; THE OFFICES OF DENTISTS, PODIATRISTS, OPHTHALMOLOGISTS, PLASTIC SURGEONS, AND PAIN MANAGEMENT SPECIALISTS; AND U.S. MILITARY, PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES, AND DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS HEALTHCARE FACILITIES. WHEN ANESTHESIA IS ADMINISTERED BY A NURSE ANESTHETIST, IT IS RECOGNIZED AS THE PRACTICE OF NURSING; WHEN ADMINISTERED BY AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST, IT IS RECOGNIZED AS THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEIR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND IS IN NURSING OR MEDICINE, ALL ANESTHESIA PROFESSIONALS GIVE ANESTHESIA THE SAME WAY. false false false false true false false false false false true false false true false true false true false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false true 115 0 true 160 true true true false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false true true true true true false false true true true true true true true false false X Kenneth Hoffman 8476551120 222 S PROSPECT AVENUE PARK RIDGE IL 60068 X JOHN PRESTON 35 X 187672 0 31324 FRANK PURCELL 35 X 191044 0 35369 LORRAINE JORDAN 35 X 176218 0 38966 MITCHELL TOBIN 35 X 189755 0 30151 JEFFERY BEUTLER 35 X X 192368 0 11455 BRUCE WEINER 1 X 2000 0 0 RONALD CASTALDO 1 X 2000 0 0 TODD HERZOG 1 X 5950 0 0 GARY CLARK 1 X 0 0 0 KAREN EISBERNER 1 X 0 0 0 JANICE IZLAR 1 X 7000 0 0 STEVE ALVES 1 X 5000 0 0 PAUL SANTORO 1 X X 20250 0 0 JAMES WALKER 1 X X 0 0 0 JACKIE ROWLES 1 X X 0 0 0 DENNIS BLESS 1 X 2000 0 0 DEBRA MALINA 1 X 5400 0 0 JOHN MCFADDEN 1 X 0 0 0 CHERYL NIMMO 1 X 4200 0 0 SHARON PEARCE 1 X 0 0 0 LYNN REEDE 1 X 0 0 0 DANIEL SIMONSON 1 X 4000 0 0 HENRY TALLEY 1 X 0 0 0 WANDA WILSON 40 X 302902 0 11032 LISA THIEMANN 40 X 183113 0 33701 JEFF RAIZEN 40 X 150546 0 26989 1631418 0 218987 18 true true false ENVISION GRAPHICS 225 MADSEN DRIVE BLOOMINGDALE IL 60018 GRAPHICAL DESIGN 577010 MARRIOTT BUSINESS SERVICES PO BOX 43003 ATLANTA GA 30384 TRAVEL SERVICES 367262 SARDIS MEDIA LTD 888 E BELVIDERE RD STE 319 GARYSLAKE IL 60030 AUDIO VISUAL 282509 SHERATON SEATTLE HOTEL 1400 SITH AVE SEATTLE WA 98101 TRAVEL SERVICES 165886 MTM TECHNOLOGIES 62656 COLLECTIONS CENTER DR CHICAGO IL 60693 SOFTWARE SERVICES 163756 12 0 ADVERTISING REVENUE 541800 864329 86967 777362 LABEL SALES 541870 165649 165649 SERVICE FEES 900099 1465126 1465126 MEMBERSHIP DUES 900099 14321276 14321276 WORKSHOP & CONFERENCE FEES 900099 2533747 2533747 0 0 0 0 19350127 3303415 3303415 0 716658 716658 648590 648590 0 648590 459220 189370 14255149 13891063 364086 0 364086 364086 0 0 231152 133268 97884 97884 MISC INCOME 900099 57197 57197 SPECIAL EVENT 900099 432116 432116 0 0 0 0 489313 24970073 18896429 1402231 4671413 2031129 0 549269 203823 6506371 993162 1007872 494573 375473 228636 23567 0 66675 640526 193783 1255866 934037 944471 1297 1476887 62325 492619 87387 PRINTING & PUBLICATION 1494025 BOARD & COMMITTEE EXPENSE 759273 PROJECT EXPENSES 642803 INCOME TAX EXPENSE 238202 SPEAKER EXPENSES 180256 553493 22437800 0 0 0 3364025 1194327 10198197 13003976 552735 594651 164995 166507 413164 256106 14616737 6743070 7486373 7873667 7791843 9292902 0 0 0 0 5636349 3974720 35607681 36356856 5028665 4729976 6501941 7606204 9902780 6517285 21433386 18853465 X 14174295 17503391 14174295 17503391 35607681 36356856 X 2532273 796823 X false true true X false false false true 14321276 1540000 530605 2070605 1455560 615045 0 1575000 1575000 4008514 1374495 2634019 3366026 1618323 1747703 5667197 3750252 1916945 0 7873667 DUE FROM AFFILIATES 3974720 3974720 0 DUES PAYABLE TO STATE ASSOCIATIONS 2995705 DUE TO AFFILIATES 3521580 6517285 24970073 22437800 2532273 -11925 808749 796824 3329097 25900164 -11925 942016 930091 24970073 0 0 24970073 22571068 133268 133268 22437800 0 0 22437800 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 AANA RECOGNIZES THE AMOUNT OF TAXES PAYABLE OR REFUNDABLE FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, AND DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARE RECOGNIZED FOR THE FUTURE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF TRANSACTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED IN AMS' FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR TAX RETURNS.
