This article present a gap in research regarding advocacy at the APRN level, despite the large amount of evidence surrounding advocacy at the RN level. The article calls for more research regarding if and how advocacy may differ at the APRN level and how exactly institutions are preparing APRN students for the advocacy role.

APRN Scope policy advocacy legislation toolkit federal state AANP legislator expand

shared by quinnjuliac on 30 Aug 17 - No Cached

quinnjuliac on 30 Aug 17

This is a toolkit from the American Association of Nurse Practitioners that APRNs can use to stay connected to legislative efforts that impact their profession. "Policy" can be a very overwhelming idea, particularly to someone who does not have experience with that realm of healthcare, so the AANP breaks it down for you. There are issue briefs on things like Full Practice Authority and Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs. These briefs give you the bullet points on why the policy is good or bad for our patients and evidence supporting that position. There's other resources as well that can help you find your legislators, find out about federal and state legislation, and get connected to legislative advocacy initiatives in your state. Participating in the legislative process is a really important way that APRNs can advocate for our patients, and this resource will support you in engaging with it.

jennifermandhai on 30 Aug 17

This article highlights the changes in policy that are needed to enable nurse practitioners their full scope of practice in a way that benefits patients and families at end-of-life. Nurse practitioners need the ability to practice to their full scope of practice, including providing autonomous care, receiving adequate and equal reimbursement for services, and having the authority to prescribe controlled substances II through V. Nurses also need to endorse policies that require specialized education so they receive the knowledge and skills necessary to be leaders in end-of-life care.

This 2016 article provides a brief overview of progress made in expanding APRN scope of practice to utilize a practitioner's education to the fullest extent. Although the removal of barriers to scope of practice is progressing, there is still much work ahead. This article recommends that to meet our goals, we must encourage other HCPs, policy makers, etc. that investing in our profession, i.e. becoming stakeholders, is a necessity to optimize health care practice.

This article discusses the benefits and pit-falls to autonomous primary care Nurse practitioner practice and advocates for cost effective improvements to our healthcare system. The research suggests that Nurse practitioners who practice independently report greater job satisfaction, improved patient outcomes and provide low cost, high quality services that are equal or superior to primary care physicians. Unfortunately, current healthcare reimbursement models, policies and reluctant physicians have created barriers to autonomous NP practices. The author suggests that autonomous practice requires further research across the U.S, the establishment of a well-defined model and the evaluation of patient outcomes, in order to determine whether the present day Nurse Practitioner requires future collaborative agreements with physicians, in order to provide quality patient care across the United States.

I found this article to be completely fascinating as I was almost completely unaware of the history of the APRN role. I have heard of Lillian Wald and Mary Breckenridge but didn't know the full extent of their backgrounds. I enjoyed the history provided in this article and feel that it was a perfect reading to begin my APRN transition. It provided some important information on how the role of the nurse changed and was diminished by ourselves (ANA) before being re-expanded in the 1960s with the role of the NP. I'd love to hear what others think and if you have other interesting historical articles on the background of the APRN role!

This systematic literature search article is in two parts: deinition and application of telehealth for APRNs and describes an approach for telehealth training for APRNs. APRNs can utilize telehealth technologies to improve patient access to care with cost-saving measures, collaborate with other disciplines, and remote patient monitoring. Students need to become competent and skilled with the evolving technologies and regulations to improve patient outcomes with limited resources to healthcare.

This article discusses the Pros and Cons of using APRNs in both outpatient and inpatient settings. One of the positives is that there are more jobs for the APRN and now APRN's can specialize much like physicians. The downside to that is that there are not as many NPs doing primary care, which is leaving a gap.
