How has expansion of nurse practicioners scope of practice (or
other mid-level providers) addressed the current concerns of:
healthcare workforce shortages, health insurance cost-containment,
and the provision of prevention and curative services to under
served populations in the U.S.
What steps need to be taken to make this proposal a reality?
How could stakeholders (federal and/or state government,
institutions of higher education for these professions, the health
insurance industry, others?) play a role in supporting the expanded
scope of practice?...
