.This ia an "ISSUE BRIEF" Write specifically to the one issue of "Can the Nurse Practitioner’ Affect the Shortage of Primary Care Physicians?" (i.e, NP's can improve access to care and fill the void of the primary care physician shortage. Physician scarcities continue to threaten health care delivery, as more and more new MD graduates are choosing to specialize. Research studies conclude that where Nurse Practitioners have the same authority, responsibility, productivity, and administrative requirements as MDs, patient outcomes are comparable. Based on this research, private insurers, states, as well as Medicare and Medicaid, are indeed beginning to expand the use of Nurse Practitioners in roles traditionally played by doctors, as the health care industry views such innovation as another tool to help cut costs. In recent years, 26 states, including Connecticut, New Jersey and Texas, have passed laws allowing nurse practitioners, those with the most advanced training, to work without a link to a physician
The medical establishment and many doctors vehemently oppose the idea of Nurse Practitioners working without a link to a physician. The opposition given is not supported by the research. A growing body of research indicates that primary care delivered by nurse practitioners is equivalent to physician care.)
