How We Work
The Benefits of a Nurse Practitioner (NP) vs. Family Physician
A nurse practitioner works directly with patients, and is typically responsible for providing urgent, primary, and specialty care to a specific population of people. In this role, NPs can drastically change a patient’s experience (and life!).
Depending on the U.S. state in which a nurse practitioner works, their role can be just as important as a physician. This is because NPs can provide care without a physician’s oversight.
Data from the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) questionnaire shows, of the 18 core questions, NPs had better scores than physicians on 15, according to The Clinical Advisor.
In general, the findings indicated that NPs spend more time with patients, listen more closely, provide more feedback, show more respect for patients’ opinions, and the like.
Note: Researchers point out that physicians scored well on the survey–an average global score of 7.2 out of 10. In comparison, however, NPs earned an global average of 9.8.
