Original research: Collaborative practice trends in US physician office visits: an analysis of the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) 2007–2016

摘要

Practice arrangements in physician offices were characterised by examining the share of visits that involved physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs). The hypothesis was that collaborative practice (ie, care delivered by a dyad of physician-PA and/or physician-NP) was increasing.
