@acnp_national Good on ya, Australia! Celebrating 🎉 your success in securing better access to ⬆️ high-quality health care 🩺 for patients. #FPA @AANP_NEWS

[AANP @AANP_NEWS]

Today, patients in 27 states benefit from full and direct access to NPs. Providing patients in the other 23 states with that level of access would improve access and health outcomes. #WhenPatientsChoosePatientsWin.

One in four health visits in the U.S. are provided by non-physicians. But nurse practitioners say their work is hampered by outdated restrictions on providing care without physician supervision. https://t.co/xgcgy6hfHf

"The demand for primary care services in the U.S. is increasing exponentially, and the NP workforce...can help address this demand...But several barriers at the federal, state, and organizational level limit NPs’ ability to provide #primarycare."

No surprise that these states also have some of the most restrictive 🚧 and outdated healthcare 🩺licensing laws. https://t.co/A7PlyByfbH 💡Let’s fix that! Improve access and choice = improved outcomes @HarvardBiz @commonwealthfnd @AANP_NEWS @WeChooseNPs

The states with the fastest-growing populations — including Texas, Florida, and Georgia —consistently rank last when it comes to health and health care. https://t.co/lVSwdrH6oO

A1 The name of our current payment system - fee-for-service - says it all. It incentivizes clinicians to get paid for services and procedures, not to focus on patients and their health. #PrimaryCareCovidChat

[AANP @AANP_NEWS]

A4: FQHC, school-based clinics, community health centers — what do they have in common? NPs, a focus on primary care & a relentless pursuit to eliminate health disparities. Primary payment reform will help us get there faster. #PrimaryCareCovidChat #NPsLead @NurseLedCare

[AANP @AANP_NEWS]

A5: NPs have been working to fix fee-for-service issues for decades. Count us in! #PrimaryCareCovidChat #NPsLead https://t.co/XVErTGNBPe
