Data brief

Four areas you must focus on for success

Clinical Team Insights that directly respond to the clinical workforce crisis. Four imperatives to cultivate an optimal workforce strategy are discussed in this brief. They were identified through evaluation of the 2020 Clinical Team Insight’s data and assessment of the current healthcare landscape.

The power of connnection

At Nebraska Medicine, advanced practice providers (APPs) have been part of the care team for more than 30 years, but they lacked executive representation and were siloed across units and departments. Building on lessons from Clinical Team Insights, the system transformed how APPs contribute to and function within the system.

Integrate APPs to improve revenue

Many systems are refining how APPs are utilized. Ten years ago, the approach was simply to hire more APPs, which worked in many markets. Now, however, systems often employ a team-based care model that effectively enables each provider to work at the top of their scope of practice.

Optimizing clinical care teams

Fragmented care is common in many patient populations, including cancer patients — a population that is growing. By 2040, more than 26 million Americans are expected to be living with cancer. Developing a high-functioning care team will increase capacity, productivity and practice revenue while improving patient access.

The right people, the right process, the right care

APPs are an integral part of the clinical team and these roles will continue to grow and expand. Health care organizations benefit from supporting APPs and physicians to work at the top of their scope of practice allowing patients to receive effective and efficient care which is essential to meeting today’s value-based health care demands.
