Abstract

The nation is struggling with the challenges and inefficiencies in the current healthcare environment, the increased demand for primary care services, and growing shortage of primary care providers to meet that demand. Although nurse practitioners (NPs) are highly educated, licensed, and certified healthcare professionals who are qualified to provide primary care services, the restrictive policies for physician oversight that exist in many states impede full utilization of the skills possessed by NPs in primary care provider roles. NPs are a crucial part of the solution to the growing demands for primary care in the United States and the transformation of the healthcare system to one in which accessible, patient-centered, essential health services are provided while improving the quality of care and controlling healthcare costs.

限制初级保健中护士从业人员充分利用的政策。
国家正在努力应对当前医疗保健环境的挑战和低效率,对初级保健服务的需求增加,以及满足这一需求的初级保健提供者日益短缺。虽然执业护士(NPs)是受过高等教育、有执照和认证的医疗保健专业人员,他们有资格提供初级保健服务,但许多州对医生监督的限制性政策阻碍了NPs在初级保健提供者角色中所拥有的技能的充分利用。NPs是解决美国日益增长的初级保健需求的关键部分,也是医疗保健系统向可获得的、以患者为中心的、提供基本医疗服务的转变的关键部分,同时提高了医疗质量并控制了医疗保健成本。
