Professional partnerships in primary care practice

Professional partnerships in pediatric primary care produce opportunities for blending nursing and medical roles to offer optimal health care to children and families. During the Sixth Annual Pediatric Nursing Conference, held October 4-7, 1990 in San Francisco, issues of role delineation, reimbursement or salary schedules, prescriptive authority, on-call status, malpractice coverage, and hospital privileges were discussed among a distinguished panel of PNPs and physicians.
