Good News for Healthcare
Consumers!
Good
Healthcare Just Got Easier To
Find
There
is good news for healthcare consumers. The
once frustrating search to find a
healthcare provider, who spends time
talking with as well as providing
high-quality care for patients in their
home, is finally here: Mobile Primary Care
Adult & Family NPs, PLLC.
More
and more people are choosing Nurse
Practitioners (NPs) as their primary, acute
and/or specialty healthcare provider.
Research conducted for more than 40 years
has established that NPs provide
high-quality, cost effective and
personalized healthcare. Patients with NPs
as their healthcare provider have fewer
instances of emergency room visits, shorter
hospital stays and often have lower
medication costs.
Nurse
Practitioners are different than other
healthcare providers - they focus on the
whole person when treating specific health
problems and they educate their patients on
the effects those problems will have on
them and their loved ones. Outcomes from
studies of NP practice support that the
quality of care is at least equivalent to -
and sometimes better than - that of
physician care. The high level of
satisfaction and confidence that patients
have is evidenced by the approximate 600
million visits made to NPs each year.
What
is an NP?
-
NPs have graduate, advanced
education and advanced clinical
training beyond their initial
registered nurse preparation.
-
NPs order, perform and interpret
diagnostic tests; diagnose and
treat acute and chronic conditions;
and prescribe medications and other
treatment.
-
NPs are truly partners in the
healthcare of their patients. In
addition to clinical services, they
focus on health promotion, disease
prevention and health education and
counseling, guiding patients to
make smarter health and lifestyle
choices.
