Abstract:
As the role of the nurse practitioner (NP) evolves, the need to demonstrate productivity becomes more important. Productivity data provides NPs with practice statistics to generate business or use in contract negotiations with potential clients such as employers, managed care organizations, and insurance companies. However, beyond the numbers of patients seen per day or amount of reimbursement a provider brings to the practice, NPs may provide additional benefit that is not captured with physician productivity measures. Information to acquaint NPs with key aspects of recording productivity and ways NPs can organize productivity data within their practice to determine worth of service are presented.
