Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Psychiatric nurse practitioners (NPs) are nearly twice as likely to receive industry payments as psychiatrists. Stricter state laws on NP scope of practice correlate with increased industry payments for NPs.
Area Of Science
- Psychiatry
- Health Policy
- Pharmaceutical Industry
Background
- Industry payments to healthcare professionals are common.
- Understanding payment patterns among different psychiatric provider types is crucial.
- The influence of state-level scope of practice laws on these payments is not well understood.
Purpose Of The Study
- To compare industry payment patterns between US psychiatrists and psychiatric advanced practice clinicians (APCs).
- To investigate the impact of state scope of practice laws on these payment patterns.
Main Methods
- A cross-sectional study utilizing the 2021 Sunshine Act Open Payment database and NPPES database.
- Analysis included psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners (NPs), and clinical nurse specialists (CNSs).
- Outcomes measured included the number, percentage, and value of industry payments received by clinician type and state scope of practice regulations.
Main Results
- Psychiatric NPs (49.3%) and CNSs (10.7%) received industry payments more frequently than psychiatrists (26.6%).
- Psychiatric NPs were 1.85 times more likely to receive industry payments than psychiatrists.
- NPs in states with restricted scope of practice laws received more frequent payments compared to those in states with broader scope of practice.
Conclusions
- Psychiatric NPs exhibit significantly higher rates of industry payments compared to psychiatrists.
- State scope of practice laws appear to influence industry payment frequency for psychiatric NPs, with stricter laws associated with higher payment rates.
- Findings highlight potential disparities in industry relationships across psychiatric provider types and the role of regulatory environments.
