The right care team has the potential to increase patient access, build on new care models, and make care more effective, meaning providers should better leverage advanced practice practitioners (APPs), said experts at Xtelligent Healthcare Media’s fourth annual Value-Based Care Summit in Boston.
“APPs do really well serving areas that have decreased access, such as rural communities, primary care, urgent care, and they’ve shown their benefit by being so versatile caring for those patients within those areas,” explained Katherine Evans, DNP, chief nursing officer at United Healthcare, during the panel on the critical roles of APPs in the team-based care setting.
