Physicians use a patient’s history to make a diagnosis 70 – 90% of the time. When it comes to telephone nurse triage, where visual assessments are not an option, patient history is used to determine the appropriate level of care nearly 100% of the time. Here's how our nurse triage solutions make it easier to record accurate patient caller information and share it with your doctors: https://lnkd.in/eCG8iDjB #NurseTriage #PatientHistory

Interesting that the AMA is so against the use of APRNs yet has done nothing to increase the number of physicians to address the issues of access… and rather than working to educate the APRNs who are entering the workforce within their specialty you just turn around and bash the entire profession neglecting that NPs are nurses who you also rely on to support patient care, safety and care quality. The issue is that NPs being hired in the ED are typically trained and educated for the OUTPATIENT management of chronic, stable disease processes—not acutely ill and unstable populations. Hire Acute Care NPs in the ED and you will see that there is a benefit to having APRNs in the metrics because that’s the program that teaches NPs for that environment. Embrace your mid-level providers and teach them alongside your residents and quit viewing them as competition. We want to learn and work WITH our doctors. We want to HELP our physicians provide more care to more people and it’s only through collaboration that we can do that. Quit perpetuating this divisive narrative that does nothing to strengthen clinician relationships and ultimately just puts patient care at risk.

physician supervision is essential for optimizing the role of nurse practitioners in patient care. It provides valuable oversight, support, and collaboration, which can address the challenges highlighted in the study and help ensure high-quality, cost-effective care for patients.
