Paper Abstract:
Their impact on patient care and medical costs. Using nurse practitioners in place of physicians for various functions including treatment diabetes patients (nurse certified as diabetes educator), general physical examinations, health-promotion activities and education, data analysis, treatment plan development and implementation. Discusses studies and trends.
Paper Introduction:
The position of nurse practitioner began in 1965 in the United States, and has made steady progress since that date to where today, state practice laws are in many cases not requiring physician supervision, and some states give nurse practitioners prescriptive authority (Adams, 2002; Roberts, 2002). A review of the literature has shown that collaborative efforts between physicians and nurse practitioners can improve patient care. The use of nurse practitioners has been shown to reduce costs and bring improvements in the quality of patient care in nursing homes, emergency rooms and in surgical settings.
Research studies have shown that patients generally receive the same care from a nurse practitioner as they do from a general practitioner (Roberts, 2002). Roberts (2002) reviewed several studies of nurse practitioners treating diabetes patients.
