Autonomy of nurse practitioners in primary care: An integrative review - 0 views

shared by bnichola168 on 27 Aug 17 - No Cached
  •  
    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.

Historical Perspectives on an Expanded Role for Nursing - 5 views

  •  
    This article chronicles the history of nursing and how expanding the role of nurses was initially justified. It discusses how this expanded role eventually became the role of the nurse practitioner that we are familiar with today.
  •  
    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!

Perspectives of Physicians and Nurse Practitioners on Primary Care Practice - 0 views

  •  
    I found this research article enlightening on Physician's views and APRN's views on the APRN's role and scope of practice in the primary care setting. In 2010, the Institute of Medicine published an article that stated "advanced practice registered nurses should be able to practice to the full extent of their education and training." The link I posted givens results to a survey given randomly to Physicians and APRNs working in direct patient care on how they view they scope of practice of APRNs.

The role of physician oversight on advanced practice nurses' professional autonomy and ... - 1 views

  •  
    This article looked at the relationship between physician oversight and APRN autonomy and empowerment. It surveyed APRNs in Montana, to determine which factors most influence APRN empowerment and autonomy. Surprisingly, it found that high levels of physician oversight improve APRN empowerment, regardless of whether the oversight is regulatory or simply collaborative. A next step for this study would be to learn more about why physician empowerment increases APRN autonomy - are there certain qualities to the physician/APRN relationship that must be established?

Barriers that were emphasized include state practice and licensure, physician related issues, education, and role perception.

    This article speaks to the many barriers to NP practice such as state regulations, lack of physician knowledge of scope of practice, payer policies not allowing full scope of practice, prescriptive privilege, etc. With the ACA and expanded healthcare coverage, it is necessary to address the barriers to NP practice since NPs will be essential to meeting the healthcare needs in the US over the next few years.

    This is an excellent overview of common barriers to APRN practice that effect the Triple Aim for healthcare: better care (individuals), better health (populations), and lower cost.

    This article talks about the evolving role of the PNP over recent history. It breaks down the role based on work activities, the top being medication prescription, reporting social concerns such as abuse, neglect and exploitation, and guidance on immunizations. Knowing the key components of the practice of a PNP will help drive competencies in education and understanding the role better.

CNM's Role: Reproductive Technologies - 2 views

    In reproductive endocrinology, there is no clear role for a CNM. I feel like this article has an undertone that doesn't seem to invite the CNM to the table for collaboration, though I still found it interesting.

    This article speaks about the future of healthcare - specifically, how primary care is at the foundation of a robust health care system. The author argues that the key to improving the triple aim (health of populations, patient experience, cost of care) is to remove barriers to NP practice, allowing them to practice to their fullest capacity.

    This article describes the thought behind, process and goal of the Consensus Model for APRN Regulation, which aims to clarify and unify regulations for APRN licensure, accreditation, certification and education (LACE). This model was created in response to inconsistencies in APRN education and practice caused by a need for APRNs.
