Today, patients in 27 states benefit from full and direct access to NPs. Providing patients in the other 23 states with that level of access would improve access and health outcomes. #WhenPatientsChoosePatientsWin.

One in four health visits in the U.S. are provided by non-physicians. But nurse practitioners say their work is hampered by outdated restrictions on providing care without physician supervision. to.pbs.org/40Md4gp

"The demand for primary care services in the U.S. is increasing exponentially, and the NP workforce...can help address this demand...But several barriers at the federal, state, and organizational level limit NPs’ ability to provide #primarycare."

No surprise that these states also have some of the most restrictive 🚧 and outdated healthcare 🩺licensing laws. bit.ly/3fPnkyO 💡Let’s fix that! Improve access and choice = improved outcomes @HarvardBiz @commonwealthfnd @AANP_NEWS @WeChooseNPs
The states with the fastest-growing populations — including Texas, Florida, and Georgia —consistently rank last when it comes to health and health care. buff.ly/34HaPPa

A1 The name of our current payment system - fee-for-service - says it all. It incentivizes clinicians to get paid for services and procedures, not to focus on patients and their health. #PrimaryCareCovidChat

A4: FQHC, school-based clinics, community health centers — what do they have in common? NPs, a focus on primary care & a relentless pursuit to eliminate health disparities. Primary payment reform will help us get there faster. #PrimaryCareCovidChat #NPsLead @NurseLedCare

A5: NPs have been working to fix fee-for-service issues for decades. Count us in! #PrimaryCareCovidChat #NPsLead xitter.cf/MathematicaNow/status/…
#PrimaryCareCovidChat Q5 @theNASEM’s new primary care report says payers should phase out fee-for-service models, making hybrid models the new default: “Are we willing to insist Medicare move from [fee-for-service] payment models to a new normal?” Good question. Are we?
Tay Kopanos retweeted
A6: NPs serve at the intersection of policy and patient care. We know how firsthand how cost of care & reimbursement disproportionally impact vulnerable communities. NPs see needed solutions & are ready to help #PrimaryCareCovidChat #NPsLead xitter.cf/MathematicaNow/status/…
#PrimaryCareCovidChat Q6 When considering payment reform, how can we make sure vulnerable communities have a seat at the table? Who else should be there?
Tay Kopanos retweeted
A8: Modernizing licensing laws for NPs is a no added cost, no delay policy that will increase access to quality primary care services statewide. @NatlGovsAssoc #PrimaryCareCovidChat #NPsLead xitter.cf/MathematicaNow/status/…
#PrimaryCareCovidChat Q8 (last one!) From the @theNASEM report on primary care: “States should facilitate multi-payer collaboration and increase the portion of health care spending for primary care.” If you had one sentence to pitch this to a Governor, what would you say?

Everyone needs access to high-quality, affordable health care.
If policymakers permanently remove barriers that keep nurses from practicing to the top of their education and training, millions more people will have access to care. #FutureOfNursing2030
