Kaiser Family Foundation brief released 1/20/15: In the context of a broader set of strategies to shape a health care workforce and delivery systems that meet the needs of all Americans, optimizing our existing primary care capacity by removing barriers to NPs’ full deployment is a step that states, public and private health insurance programs, and managed care plans are in a position to take in the immediate term. Fuller participation of NPs in primary care might help, in particular, to increase access in underserved rural and urban areas......1 in 4 WV residents is a Medicaid recipient - with nearly 1/3 of WV primary care physicians not accepting Medicaid patients and those that do limiting their panel of Medicaid patients to 3-4% we have a glut of underserved in WV! APRNs are here to help - if the Legislature will allow us to do what weve been trained and educated to do.
