Nurse practitioners (NPs) effectively provide diverse health care services and positively impact patient outcomes. Continued support and utilization of NPs in healthcare systems are recommended based on established evidence.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Nursing Practice
  • Evidence Synthesis

Background:

  • The role and effectiveness of nurse practitioners (NPs) in healthcare delivery require continuous evaluation.
  • Existing literature on NP effectiveness needs systematic synthesis to inform practice and policy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the extent to which nurse practitioner (NP) effectiveness is established in the scientific literature.
  • To compare findings from high-quality studies with a model of NP effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • An information synthesis was performed, reviewing 350 documents.
  • 102 documents were excluded, and 56 high-quality studies ('Better Studies') were analyzed.
  • Findings from these studies were compared against a developed model of NP effectiveness.

Main Results:

  • Nurse practitioners (NPs) demonstrate effectiveness in delivering a broad spectrum of health care services.
  • NPs function effectively both independently and as collaborative members of healthcare teams.
  • NP utilization positively influences patient-related outcomes, as supported by the analyzed literature.

Conclusions:

  • The effectiveness of nurse practitioners (NPs) is well-established in the literature.
  • Continued use and support of NPs within healthcare delivery systems are warranted.
  • Further research recommendations are outlined to advance understanding of NP roles and impact.
