Projecting the Future Registered Nurse Workforce After the Covid-19 Pandemic
In this study, the rebound in the total size of the US RN workforce during 2022 and 2023 indicates that the earlier drop in RN employment during the first 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic was likely transitory. Updated forecasts of the future RN workforce are very close to those made before the pandemic
Characteristics of rural registered nurses and the implications for workforce policy
PURPOSE: Rural registered nurses (RNs) play an integral role in providing care for an underserved population with worse health outcomes than urban counterparts. However, little information is available on the profile of this workforce, which is necessary to understand the capacity of these nurses to provide quality and demanded care presently and in the future. METHODS: We utilize data from the American Community Survey to provide a contemporary …
Marriage, Children, and Sex-Based Differences in Physician Hours and Income
In this cross-sectional study of US physicians, marriage and children were associated with a greater earnings penalty for female physicians, primarily due to fewer hours worked relative to men. Addressing the barriers that lead to women working fewer hours could contribute to a reduction in the male-female earnings gap while helping to expand the effective physician workforce
The Impact of Using Mid-level Providers in Face-to-Face Primary Care on Health Care Utilization
BACKGROUND: There has been concern that greater use of nurse practitioners (NP) and physician assistants (PA) in face-to-face primary care may increase utilization and spending. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a natural experiment within Kaiser Permanente in Georgia in the use of NP/PA in primary care. STUDY DESIGN: From 2006 through early 2008 (the preperiod), each NP or PA was paired with a physician to manage a patient panel. In early 2008, NPs and PAs…
Will the RN Workforce Weather the Retirement of the Baby Boomers
IMPORTANCE: After forecasts made more than a decade ago suggested dire nursing shortages, enrollment in nursing schools doubled. The implications of this unprecedented change for the nursing workforce have not yet been fully explored. OBJECTIVE: To forecast the size and age distribution of the nursing workforce to the year 2030 and to compare to demand recently projected by the Health Resources and Services Agency. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort …
Examining the Value of Inpatient Nurse Staffing: An Assessment of Quality and Patient Care Costs
BACKGROUND: Inpatient quality deficits have important implications for the health and well-being of patients. They also have important financial implications for payers and hospitals by leading to longer lengths of stay and higher intensity of treatment. Many of these costly quality deficits are particularly sensitive to nursing care. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of nurse staffing on quality of care and inpatient care costs. DESIGN: Longitudin…
Do We Really Need More Physicians? Responses to Predicted Primary Care Physician Shortages
Predicted primary care shortages have spurred action to increase the number of primary care physicians. However, simply increasing the number of primary care providers is not the only solution to resolving the imbalance between the supply of primary care physicians and the demand for primary care services. In this point-counterpoint, we highlight the limitations of existing primary care shortage predictions and discuss strategies to deliver prima…
Will the NP Workforce Grow in the Future: New Forecasts and Implications for Healthcare Delivery
BACKGROUND: The nurse practitioner (NP) workforce has been a focus of considerable policy interest recently, particularly as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act may place additional demands on the healthcare professional workforce. The NP workforce has been growing rapidly in recent years, but fluctuation in enrollments in the past decades has resulted in a wide range of forecasts. OBJECTIVES: To forecast the future NP workforce using …
Price and the Demand for Nongroup Health Insurance
In light of recent interest in tax credits and other price-based incentives to stimulate the purchase of insurance, this study estimates the price elasticity of demand for nongroup health insurance for single workers without access to employer-sponsored insurance. Our premium measure explicitly accounts for two components that have not been examined in previous studies: 1) health status, and 2) the effect of state-level premium rating regulations…
