6 Benefits Of Integrating NPs And PAs In HM Programs
The benefits of NP/PA roles specifically within hospital medicine (HM) are clear):
Lower Costs
HM programs staffed by NPs/PAs working alongside physicians can save a facility as much as 40% in provider costs.
Shared Workload
By taking on lower acuity patients, NPs/PAs share the workload enabling doctors to focus on higher acuity, more medically-complex patients.
Increased Throughput
The presence of NPs/PAs helps increase throughput due to the presence of more providers than a program staffed by physicians alone.
Ease of Recruiting
The shortage of qualified hospitalists makes the use of NPs/PAs a medical necessity, especially for rural hospitals.
Improved Patient Satisfaction
Having more providers available on the floor means more time dedicated to patients, which can significantly improve a patient’s perception of care.
Better Equipped to Address Social Issues
Lower acuity patients may also have social needs such as transition back to home or family dynamics that need to be addressed. NPs/PAs can provide concentrated time assisting the patient and family.
