[quote=Anonymous]Corporate medical America wants to cut costs and NPs and PAs cost way less to pay than MDs. The business of healthcare is brutalizing patients and healthcare workers alike. This is not the fault of the NPs. Most all professionals want higher pay and more education and programs are more accessible now. Nurses and PAs know their limits. I go to NPs for annual screenings, to get a minor injury treated, etc. and MDs for anything else. I work in a very well known academic medical institution. Many of the most critical patients are managed by NPs/PAs, with a responsible MD as part of a team. This shared co-visit model is excellent at capturing costs savings while preserving safety of MD level medical decision making and responsibility.
