Unlocking the Value of NPs and PAs: Increase Revenue and Create a Healthy and Thriving Practice with Midlevel Providers

Most medical practice management literature addresses practice structure and profitability as it relates to physicians. The role of nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) has evolved significantly over the past several years but most practices are not set up to take full advantage of their potential. Yet fiscally smart and patient-centered practices are effectively using nurse practitioners and physician assistants in this ever- changing healthcare landscape. In the face of such changes, it's essential that healthcare practices reevaluate their provider staffing strategies to maximize the efficiency and profitability in their clinics or departments. This new book discusses what employers can expect when hiring advanced practice providers and how to help midlevel providers in their practices reach their full potential. The book suggests actionable modifications employers can make to recruit, hire, train, and retain NPs and PAs in a mutually beneficial employment relationship.
