Collaborative Statement Quenches Fire Over NP Participation in PCMH, Ensures All Participants Meet Same Standards
(4/29/2009, 5:45 p.m.)
--
During the past couple of months, there has been a lot of discussion about where nurse practitioners, or NPs, fit into the patient-centered medical home, or PCMH, model, particularly in light of planned and ongoing PCMH demonstration projects. Although the AAFP continues to push for PCMH demonstration projects that are led by physician-directed medical practices, members of Congress, employers and consumers often don't understand why the PCMH model cannot rely on NPs in states where these practitioners have authority under state law to practice independently.
