Abstract

Abstract: The nurse practitioner (NP) and physician assistant (PA) professions are rapidly growing. Historically, these professions have filled a health care delivery gap caused by lack of health care access and physician shortages. Many medical practices are more accustomed to adding new physicians as compared with adding new NPs or PAs. This article describes one institution's approach to develop and implement a successful NP/PA onboarding program. Several key components are discussed, including (1) established roles and responsibilities, (2) a clear timeline of the onboarding period including a foundational curriculum, (3) the mentor-mentee relationship, (4) the onboarding checklist, and (5) the onboarding itinerary. The objective was to have our NPs/PAs on a regular patient calendar within the 6-month period. The success rate with this has been 86%. In addition, there has been a 90% retention of NP/PA hires over the past 3 years. The authors believe this approach to NP/PA onboarding serves the patients well, providing excellent patient outcomes and patient experience.

家庭医学实习的执业护士和医师助理。

摘要:执业护士(NP)和医师助理(PA)职业正在迅速发展。从历史上看，这些职业填补了由于缺乏卫生保健机会和医生短缺而造成的卫生保健服务缺口。与增加新的np或pa相比，许多医疗实践更习惯于增加新的医生。本文描述了一个机构开发和实施成功的NP/PA入职计划的方法。本文讨论了几个关键组成部分，包括:(1)确立的角色和职责;(2)明确的入职时间表，包括基础课程;(3)师徒关系;(4)入职清单;(5)入职行程。目的是在6个月内将我们的NPs/ pa纳入常规患者日程表。这种方法的成功率是86%。此外，在过去三年中，NP/PA的保留率达到90%。作者认为这种NP/PA入职方法可以很好地为患者服务，提供良好的患者结果和患者体验。

期刊介绍： The Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (JAANP) is a monthly peer-reviewed professional journal that serves as the official publication of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. Published since 1989, the JAANP provides a strong clinical focus with articles related to primary, secondary, and tertiary care, nurse practitioner education, health policy, ethics and ethical issues, and health care delivery. The journal publishes original research, integrative/comprehensive reviews, case studies, a variety of topics in clinical practice, and theory-based articles related to patient and professional education. Although the majority of nurse practitioners function in primary care, there is an increasing focus on the provision of care across all types of systems from acute to long-term care settings.
