Lure of Specialty Medicine: Specialty practices are adding NPs at almost the same rate as primary care practices. -- I disagree that the "money" is the lure although it doesn't hurt. NPs do what they love

NPs’ involvement can significantly improve end-of-life care outcomes for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), according to the results of a new study in JAMA Health Forum.

This headline is misleading --- But there are several good points here "the most recent projections by the AAMC predict a dearth of at least 20,200 primary care physicians by 2036." #lalege #npslead

Gov Landry's Healthcare Council Report "Identify more opportunities to partner with Primary Care Physicians and align incentives to prioritize preventive care and patient engagement." What about NPs that are serving Louisianans now in Primary Care? @GovLouisiana #lalege

The word nurse is only mentioned once in this report -- not exactly rolling out the welcome mat for nurses Louisiana. #wehavebarriers #legislativeredtape #lalege While it says "one team", it really is all about the physicians. oneteam.la/2024/01/26/the-he…

Being bound in bureaucratic red tape and trade restriction is exhausting. It’s time to roll out the welcome mat for nurses in Louisiana. #lalege #npslead #HEALlouisiana medriva.com/health/healthcar…

Remove Ohio and insert Louisiana. The collaborative agreement is RESTRICTIVE. 45 Mental Health NPs had to shut down when their collaborating psychiatrist passed away in 2022. That equates to more than 80,000 patients that lost access to care. #lalege

Did you catch the recent PBS @NewsHour story about the importance of increasing access to high-quality health care by implementing Full Practice Authority (FPA) for nurse practitioners? to.pbs.org/49MnWiA

Louisiana NPs are ready to fill the gap! Would be much easier to do with removal of outdated regulatory barriers. #lalege #HEALLouisiana #npslead

From 2019 to 2021, Louisiana citizens reporting to have a history of depression rose from 23.9% to 26.4%, a comparatively higher depression rate than the rest of the country. Check out PAR's latest Snapshot on mental health in Louisiana: parlouisiana.org/wp-content/… #lalege #lagov

Healthcare needs an overhaul! NPs need to be recognized for what we are doing to fill the gaps. We are taking care of Medicare and Medicaid patients -- despite lower reimbursement rates for NPs. #becausewecare #lalege #HEALLouisiana
