Study Notes
Primary Care of the Family Reading Notes
- The scope of practice for nurses isn't consistent across all states.
- Three themes for future success in nursing include the need for nurses to play a full role in practice, education, and leadership; the need for diversity in the nursing workforce; and the need for improved data to track progress.
- Healthy People 2030 needs significant improvement.
- Primary care is defined as continuous, person-centered, relationship-based care that addresses the needs and preferences of individuals, families, and communities.
- Core competencies for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) include:
- Domain 1: Knowledge for Nursing Practice
- Domain 2: Person-Centered Care
- Domain 3: Population Health
- Domain 4: Scholarship for Nursing Practice
- Domain 5: Quality and Safety
- Domain 6: Interprofessional Partnerships
- Domain 7: Systems-Based Practice
- Domain 8: Information and Healthcare Technologies
- Domain 9: Professionalism
- Domain 10: Personal, Professional, and Leadership Development
- The APRN role is based on knowledge of skills and caring.
- Caring, in nursing, is characterized by the intentional presence of the nurse with another living being, with general nursing patterns represented by the Circle of Caring Model: Courage, Authentic presence, and Advocacy.
Chapter Five: Elements of the Diagnostic Process
- Onset, duration, characteristics, location, aggravating and relieving factors, and treatment are elements of the diagnostic process.
Reimbursement
- Payment standards in the U.S. are primarily driven by insurance companies, particularly Medicare and Medicaid.
- APRNs are receiving third-party reimbursement in more settings, but payments often vary by contract and state regulations.
- Reimbursement for NPs is sometimes based on "incident to" billing, paying the supervising physician 100% of the charged amount rather than the 85% rate for independent NPs.
- This method makes it difficult for Medicare to identify and support NP clinicians providing primary care.
- Efforts are underway to eliminate incident to billing and establish a more unified reimbursement system.
Third-Party Payer Rules
- Medicare, Medicaid, indemnity insurance companies, managed care organizations (MCOs), workers' compensation, veterans' administration, and auto liability are the seven primary categories of third-party payers.
- Each payer source has specific policies and fee schedules.
- CMS guidelines serve as a foundation for most payer policies.
- Medicare has four parts (A, B, C and D) associated with inpatient hospital coverage, physician services, Medicare Advantage (a single plan combining Parts A & B) and prescription drug coverage.
- Medicare Part A (hospital services) deductible was $1,484 in 2021.
Additional Information
- Detailed information on Medicare part A and Part B requirements is provided and discussed.
- Medicare Part D is a prescription drug coverage component.
- Medicare Advantage plans combine Medicare A & B coverage, additional benefits (drug, dental, etc.), and offer lower co-pays.
- The ACA influenced the role of APRNs and expanded services.
- HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) regulations manage aspects of electronic health care.
