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.
