A list of studies... https://www.nice.healthcare/the-nicessities/nurse-practitioners-physician-assistants-safety

Most studies to date show better health outcomes / better health management for NP seen patients in primary care vs MD.

No, you need to look at the up to date research.[/quote]

Second comment on this post. Why don’t you add the links?[/quote]

Sure. Start with https://www.nber.org/papers/w30608 , from the National Bureau of Economic Research (2002, revised in 2024).

Look, there are great NPs. There is a wonderful example just above in this thread who is passionate about her work and is, I suspect, damn good at the job. The problem is that private equity and insurance companies see profit without caring about the actual training. You have many nurses who are incredibly burned out from the last 5 years of hell in this country, and they are trying to find a way to work that they find tenable. Many new nurses are not interested in being the front line for abuse from patients, and (frankly) doctors, and everyone else under the sun.

It's a perfect storm for errors. People don't understand what is really require for a thorough education to do diagnostic clinical work and management. You get away with too little training, until you don't. Then it gets really ugly really fast. That's a problem.

I get that nobody cares what I think. I'm just one anonymous poster on a pretty busy forum, and that's fine. You can disagree with me all you want. I do think it would behoove all of us to watch these outcomes as the story progresses. I'm concerned -- not because of money (I work salaried and can do this as long as I want, no matter to me), but because I care about what happens to patients. We all should.[/quote]
