This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: Twenty states, including Florida, require nurse practitioners to maintain a collaborative practice agreement (CPA) with a physician as a component of state occupational licensure. Occupational licensure can raise prices and limit access to services. Details regarding the terms and cost of participation in a CPA for providers are poorly understood. This study addressed three specific aims: 1) Examine the effects of collaborative practice agreements and similar models of health professional regulation on the cost and delivery of health services. 2) Describe variation in the collaborative services provided by physicians to nurse practitioners under collaborative practice agreements and explore associations between nurse practitioner employer, practice setting, and health professional shortage area (HPSA) with no physician terms in the CPA in Florida. 3) Describe variation in the cost of collaborative practice agreements provided by physicians to nurse practitioners and explore associations between nurse practitioner employer, practice setting, and HPSA with payment by the nurse practitioner for the CPA in Florida. Methods: A multi-methods study with distribution of an electronic survey to nurse practitioners in Florida with two-steps of recruitment at the Florida Nurse Practitioner Network Annual Conference and via email utilizing publically available licensure. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, chi-squares, and qualitative descriptive methodology. Results: Structures of regulation similar to CPAs in various health disciplines increase the cost of health services and decrease the number of health professionals delivering care. CPAs include vague language, and 24% of nurse practitioners in Florida report no terms of physician collaboration in the agreement. Ten percent of nurse practitioners report paying a physician for participation in a CPA. Nurse practitioner self-employment and non-hospital practice setting were associated with no terms for physician collaboration and payment to the physician for participation in the CPA. Collaborative practice agreements with no terms for physician collaboration were associated with payment to a physician for the CPA. Associations with HPSA demonstrate non- significant findings. Conclusions: This dissertation increased our understanding of the structure, terms and cost of CPAs in Florida. Variability in the terms and cost of CPAs do not promote equitable conditions for nurse practitioner and physician collaboration.

Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurses make up the largest segment of the health care profession, with 3 million registered nurses in the United States. Nurses work in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals, public health centers, schools, and homes, and provide a continuum of services, including direct patient care, health promotion, patient education, and coordination of care. They serve in leadership roles, are researchers, and work to improve health care policy. As the health care system undergoes transformation due in part to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the nursing profession is making a wide-reaching impact by providing and affecting quality, patient-centered, accessible, and affordable care. In 2010, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released the report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, which made a series of recommendations pertaining to roles for nurses in the new health care landscape. This current report assesses progress made by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/AARP Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action and others in implementing the recommendations from the 2010 report and identifies areas that should be emphasized over the next 5 years to make further progress toward these goals.
