The purpose of this study was to collect information on the utilization of physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs) in academic health centers. Data were gathered from a national sample of University HealthSystem Consortium member academic medical centers (AMCs). PAs and NPs have been integrated into most services of respondent AMCs, where they are positively rated for the value they bring to these organizations. The primary reason cited by most AMCs for employing PAs and NPs was Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education resident duty hour restrictions (26.9%). Secondary reasons for employing PAs and NPs include increasing patient throughput (88%), increasing patient access (77%), improving patient safety/quality (77%), reducing length of stay (73%), and improving continuity of care (73%). However, 69% of AMCs report they have not successfully documented the financial impact of PA/NP practice or outcomes associated with individual PA or NP care.

Antibiotic Prescribing

Abstract We examined US nurse practitioner (NP) and physician assistant (PA) outpatient antibiotic prescribing. Antibiotics were more frequently prescribed during visits involving NP/PA visits compared with physician-only visits, including overall visits (17% vs 12%, P < .0001) and acute respiratory infection visits (61% vs 54%, P < .001). Antibiotic stewardship interventions should target NPs and PAs.

Trends in malpractice awards and adverse actions (e.g., revocation of provider license) following an act or omission constituting medical error or negligence were examined. The National Practitioner Data Bank was used to compare rates of malpractice reports and adverse actions for physicians, physician assistants (PAs), and nurse practitioners (NPs). During 2005 through 2014, there ranged from 11.2 to 19.0 malpractice payment reports per 1,000 physicians, 1.4 to 2.4 per 1,000 PAs, and 1.1 to 1.4 per 1,000 NPs. Physician median payments ranged from 1.3 to 2.3 times higher than PAs or NPs. Diagnosis-related malpractice allegations varied by provider type, with physicians having significantly fewer reports (31.9%) than PAs (52.8%) or NPs (40.6%) over the observation period. Trends in malpractice payment reports may reflect policy enactments to decrease liability.

This study found that nurse practitioner and physician assistant employment is higher with newer physicians and in more heavily resourced practices. Employment of nurse practitioners and physician assistants is relatively modest, which suggests an opportunity for physicians to employ these providers to alleviate workloads.

Im angloamerikanischen und nordeuropäischen Raum wurden verschiedene ANP-Einzelrollen entwickelt, unter anderem die der Clinical Nurse Specialist und der Nurse Practitioner. Diese universitär ausgebildeten Pflegespezialisten sind in der Schweiz weiterhin sehr rar. Um vor diesem Hintergrund die Praxis dennoch nachhaltig weiterentwickeln zu können, wurden in den letzten acht Jahren im Kinderspital Zürich kontinuierlich Advanced-Nursing-Practice-Teams (ANP-Teams) aufgebaut. Dieser Ansatz bewährte sich durch gezielte und angemessene Leistungserbringung in hochkomplexen Situationen. In diesem Artikel wird die Zusammensetzung der ANP-Teams diskutiert, wobei der Personalmix einen Schlüsselfaktor darstellt. Unterstützende Elemente stellen dabei sowohl die Aufgabendefinition als auch Aufgabenteilung in Klinik- und Konzeptteams dar. Die ANP-Teams arbeiten motiviert und zielgerichtet, sie integrieren Pflegende verschiedenster Erfahrungs- und Ausbildungsniveaus, wodurch gegenseitiges Lernen gefördert wird.
