Nurse Practitioner Entrepreneurs—An Untapped Primary Care Lifeline
This Viewpoint describes the challenges in development of independent, nurse practitioner–owned primary care practices and offers recommendations to support the growth of these practices
Accountable Care Organizations, Skilled Nursing Facilities, and Nurse Practitioners
In this issue of Medical Care, Meddings et al1 explore the role of nurse practitioners (NPs) in averting post-skilled nursing facility (SNF) readmissions for Medicare beneficiaries inside and outside of accountable care organizations (ACOs). This work wades into the complexity of transforming the US health care system through value-based payment models, highlighting the need for adaptive staffing models that leverage the skills of a clinically di…
The Effect of Supervision Waivers on Practice
BACKGROUND: While optimal utilization of the nurse practitioner (NP) workforce is an increasingly popular proposal to alleviate the growing primary care shortage, federal, state, and organizational scope of practice policies inhibit NPs from practicing to the full extent of their license and training. In March of 2020, NP state-specific supervisory requirements were temporarily waived to meet the demands of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)…
Opioid-prescribing Outcomes of Medicare Beneficiaries Managed by Nurse Practitioners and Physicians
BACKGROUND: Primary care providers are at the center of the opioid epidemic. Whether nurse practitioners (NPs) have different opioid-prescribing outcomes from physicians is not known. OBJECTIVE: To examine opioid-prescribing outcomes of Medicare beneficiaries receiving care from NPs and physicians in primary care. RESEARCH DESIGN: We used Medicare data from 2009 to 2013 and a propensity score-weighted analysis. SUBJECTS: Beneficiaries residing in…
Quality of Primary Care Provided to Medicare Beneficiaries by Nurse Practitioners and Physicians
OBJECTIVE: To examine differences in the quality of care provided by primary care nurse practitioners (PCNPs), primary care physicians (PCMDs), or both clinicians. DATA SOURCES: Medicare part A and part B claims during 2012-2013. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort design using standard risk-adjustment methodologies and propensity score weighting assessing 16 claims-based quality measures grouped into 4 domains of primary care: chronic disease man…
Role of Geography and Nurse Practitioner Scope-of-Practice in Efforts to Expand Primary Care System Capacity
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the geographic distribution of the overall primary care workforce that includes both physician and nonphysician clinicians--particularly in areas with restrictive nurse practitioner scope-of-practice laws and where there are relatively large numbers of uninsured. OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether geographic accessibility to primary care clinicians (PCCs) differed across urban and rural areas and across states wi…
Association of Military Deployment of a Parent or Spouse and Changes in Dependent Use of Health Care Services
BACKGROUND: U.S. Armed Forces members and spouses report increased stress associated with combat deployment. It is unknown, however, whether these deployment stressors lead to increased dependent medication use and health care utilization. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the deployment of Army active duty members (sponsors) is associated with changes in dependent health care utilization. DESIGN: A quasi-experimental, pre-post study of health care…
Building Collaborative Capacity
BACKGROUND: Contradictory findings about the effectiveness of health care teams may relate to the actual structure of teams-loose rather than formal-and the nature of decision making-hierarchical rather than egalitarian. We introduce the concept of collaborative capacity-the likelihood that providers, no matter how brief their exchange, will collaborate as if they were members of an egalitarian team even in the absence of a formal team structure.…
Hunger
Objective. Hunger, with its adverse consequences for children, continues to be an important national problem. Previous studies that document the deleterious effects of hunger among children cannot distinguish child from family hunger and do not take into account some critical environmental, maternal, and child variables that may influence child outcomes. This study examines the independent contribution of child hunger on children’s physical and m…
Role of kin and nonkin support in the mental health of low-income women
Data from the Worcester Family Research Project were analyzed to determine whether social support processes are altered by poverty and whether kin and nonkin support are differentially related to mental health in low-income mothers. The authors found that conflict with family and friends predicted adverse mental health and more strongly predicted these outcomes than emotional and instrumental support. Moreover, sibling conflict was a stronger pre…
Prevalence of Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders Among Homeless and Low-Income Housed Mothers
OBJECTIVE: This study compared the prevalence of DSM-III-R disorders among homeless and low-income housed mothers with the prevalence of these disorders among all women in the National Comorbidity Survey. METHOD: The authors used an unmatched case-control design for assessing 220 homeless and 216 housed mothers receiving public assistance. RESULTS: Homeless and housed mothers had similar rates of psychiatric and substance use disorders. Both grou…
Homelessness in female-headed families
OBJECTIVES: To identify risk and protective factors for family homelessness, a case-control study of homeless and low-income, never-homeless families, all female-headed, was conducted. METHODS: Homeless mothers (n = 220) were enrolled from family shelters in Worcester, Mass. Low-income housed mothers receiving welfare (n = 216) formed the comparison group. The women completed an interview covering socioeconomic, social support, victimization, men…
Fathers of children on welfare
Although it is generally assumed that fathers are absent from the lives of children being raised on AFDC, evidence from a case-control study in Worcester, Massachusetts, suggests that there is considerable father-child contact. In addition, multivariate modeling indicates that contact with fathers had a modest beneficial effect on children's behavior. Based on these study findings, negative traits of fathers (e.g., substance abuse, physical viole…
