Scope Creep Versus Scope of Practice in a Medical Healthcare Setting

Scope Creep Versus Scope of Practice in a Medical Healthcare Setting

According to the American Medical Association (AMA), scope of practice is defined as the activities a licensed health professional is authorized to perform, as determined by state laws and regulations established by relevant licensing bodies.  Healthcare practitioners (and others) are susceptible to lawful medical malpractice claims when they do not operate within their licensed scope of practice

Medical malpractice claims where a healthcare provider worked outside of their licensed scope of practice include the following examples:

  • Providing a medical diagnosis when not licensed and/or trained to do so.
  • Administering medication,including over-the-counter (OTC) medication when not licensed and/or trained to administer medication.
  • Providing medical procedures without proper medical licensure or authorization to do so, such as removing an IV line without medical direction that was originally inserted on doctor’s orders.

There is a relatively new term in healthcare called SCOPE CREEP. Scope creep refers to medical procedures that are increasingly practiced by healthcare professionals that are not doctors.

There is great debate that scope creep improves a patient’s accessibility to healthcare with better/effective timelines; however, the AMA states allowing other healthcare providers beyond doctors to perform doctor-related care can compromise a client’s safety plus increase the risks of medical error, and the associated costs.

Despite today’s modern scope creep practices, to minimize risks and prevent medical errors, it is critical to only practice within your licensed scope, because medical malpractice can be proven when a provider operates outside of their licensed scope and the client is injured as a result of that treatment.

  • Jenny Kay - February 06, 2026

    I’m Jenny Kay am so grateful to testify of the good work of Dr. Oyagu. I Suffer from Herpes virus since 2019 and i had frequent symptoms in my private area. I’ve been using acyclovir drugs but it only goes and comes back worse. it was really disheartening ever since i was diagnosed, but after finding Dr.Oyagu and his reviews i was convinced that he will definitely cure me and so i contacted and he told me how to get his medicine. He said I will use it for just two weeks and i will go for check up. At first i said how can that be possible? After making purchase i truly used it according to how he prescribed, and went for the test again. My result came back negative. so i made it a task to share this good testimony in the internet so that those sick can benefit and get cured.

    With heavy joy in my heart, pardon me for writing on your page, but I have to share my experience with Human Papilloma Virus and how I got cured. I was diagnosed with HPV for over 30 years. I have Always Believed in herbs which made me decide to take the Bold risk of contacting Herbalist Razor through his website https://herbalistrazorherb.wixsite.com/drrazorherbalhome . I placed an order for his products, and he instructed me on how to make use of it. After completing the Dosage for just 18 days, I went for a medical test as instructed by Herbalist Razor, Just recently I got my Test Results and it came back Negative. I have just been given a second chance at life. You too can be cured if you stop doubting the efficiency of His Products. Contact him as well on his Telephone number +2349065420442.
