The Economics and Effectiveness of Advanced Practice Providers are Decidedly Local Phenomena.

The Economics and Effectiveness of Advanced Practice Providers are Decidedly Local Phenomena. Acad Emerg Med. 2020 Sep 14;: Authors: Zane RD, Michael SS Abstract The growth and promulgation of Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) across the entire spectrum of healthcare delivery has been profound, and APPs are increasingly common members of emergency department (ED) care teams. Emergency APP workforce growth is outpacing that of emergency physicians with little to suggest that this trend will subside. The evolution of the deployment of APPs in emergency care has been dramatic; initially, emergency APPs were deployed to lower acuity patients or environments-minor injury and illness and in conjunction with an emergency physician-hence the now antiquated description of APPs as "physician extenders."
