All in the balance: Nurse practitioners are ready to help meet baby boomers’ growing needs. #nurseup #aprn #healthcare

All in the balance: Nurse practitioners are ready to help meet baby boomers’ growing needs:"As they grow older, about 70 million baby boomers will test the mettle of the nation’s healthcare system — particularly its supply of primary care providers — like never before. Will there be enough PCPs to meet boomers’ chronic care needs? Some say no and are working toward securing nurse practitioners’ expanded scope of practice across the county, which will allow NPs to meet the growing need for more providers.

Members of America’s massive generation of baby boomers — people born from Jan. 1, 1946, through Dec. 31, 1964 — are now reaching age 65 at a rate of roughly 10,000 a day. The combination of aging baby boomers and an expected influx of patients seeking healthcare in 2014 under provisions of the Affordable Care Act may provide fodder for nurse practitioners seeking to expand scope-of-practice laws in the 34 states that limit it."

In Colorado, Health Care Law Creates Nurse-Run Clinic | The Rundown News Blog | PBS NewsHour | PBS

In a low-income suburb of Denver, Erica Schwartz and her small staff of advanced practice nurses have set up their own primary care facility. Here, they can provide services ranging from managing diabetes and prenatal care to treating depression -- all for less than it costs to run a primary care clinic with a doctor in the house.

"The caring component of nursing is palpable when you walk into the center," she said. Everyone on staff, from the reception desk to the exam room, spends a lot of time getting to know their patients, from their mental health needs to their blood glucose level.

Sheridan Health Services opened in March with a $1.5 million grant, spread out over three years, from the federal health care reform law. It's one of first centers in the country to open under the law. The funding is part of an effort to increase the availability of primary care services nationwide by opening more clinics staffed and managed by nurse practitioners, not doctors.

Barbara Olson Nominated Expert

A nurse with an engineer's mind tweeting #ptsafety-sensitive things that...


This is an open letter to Organized Wisdom, and more specifically to Barbara Olson, MS, RN, FISMP, @SafetyNurse and other nurses who have been "profiled" without their knowledge.

Did you know Organized Wisdom is looking to profit from your name, reputation and would like to keep you in the dark as long as possible?

Like you, I was profiled on Organized Wisdom and my tweets being "harvested" and added to their index.

When displayed in their index, my name, my photo and drug advertising were displayed prominently. Same with yours.

So, a few questions.

1. Did you know you were profiled on Organized Wisdom? Most nurses (and doctors) contacted do not.

2. Do you consent to your name/likeness being used to promote their site? Are you OK with them selling you as an "expert"

3. Do you consent to your tweet streams, being harvested, unfiltered and added to an organization that chiefly sells drug advertising? It implies your endorsement.

4. Did you know, once submitted, your favorite sites are copied, plagiarized and their copyrights infringed upon.

5. Did you know, that as a "curator" you receive no compensation, even though Organized Wisdom makes money hand over fist from drug advertising. Can you say exploitation?

Find Health Care Options - Public Information - MOHLTC

A Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic can provide ongoing care while helping promote disease prevention and healthy living. Nurse practitioners can diagnose and treat common injuries and illnesses, write some prescriptions and order blood and diagnostic tests. You can also find nurse practitioners working throughout the province in Family Health Teams and other types of clinics.

Tip : If you’re without a family doctor, try Health Care Connect. They can help you find a nurse practitioner or family doctor in your area.

Use this option

  • As an alternative to a traditional doctor’s office or walk-in clinic
  • To schedule a checkup including routine screening tests for cancer, etc
  • When you need support in managing a chronic condition

Almost 140,000 advanced practice nurses -- and their numbers are growing -- are carving out a new role in delivering timely, cost-effective, quality health care, especially to chronically underserved populations such as the elderly, the poor, and those in rural areas. Some 60% to 80% of primary and preventive care traditionally done by doctors can be done by a nurse for less money. This is not to say nurses work cheaper, but their cost-effectiveness reflects a variety of factors related to the employment setting, liability insurance, and the cost of education."

    Certification and Regulation of Advanced Practice Nurses:"Position Statement: The nursing profession must develop a standardized national advanced practice nursing certification process by the year 2000. Advanced Practice Nurse is an umbrella term appropriate for a licensed registered nurse prepared at the graduate degree level as either a Clinical Specialist, Nurse Anesthetist, Nurse-Midwife, or Nurse Practitioner. Advanced Practice Nurses are professionals with specialized knowledge and skills that are applied within a broad range of patient populations in a variety of practice settings (see Attachment A). All Advanced Practice Nurses should hold a graduate degree in nursing and be certified. Each existing and future professional nursing specialty certifying entity must meet uniform national standards when certifying nurses for advanced practice. Those standards would be developed and administered by a separate organization such as the American Board of Nursing Specialties. Professional certification validates and standardizes the qualifications and practice competencies of the Advanced Practice Nurse and is the appropriate mechanism by which the public's health and safety can be protected. There are nurses prepared at the advanced level who have roles as administrators and educators. This position statement does not address those individuals. Rather, it focuses on nurses prepared for roles as direct care providers."

Nurse practitioners are charting a new course - Roanoke.com

A turf war with potential economic, political and health care consequences is under way in Virginia.

It has been gaining momentum for years, having already been fought in other states.

In short, nurse practitioners -- advanced practice registered nurses with either a master's degree or a doctorate -- want to change the law that requires them to be supervised by a physician.

At stake, they argue, is the ability for patients to be seen by a qualified health professional in a timely and geographically convenient way. They point to people who struggle to find a provider to diagnose and treat them, specifically patients in rural communities or those insured by Medicaid or Medicare, as a reason for changing the law.
