How Primary Care Offices Work for New Nurse Practitioners

Показать описание
As nurse practitioners, we primarily learn the clinical aspects of practice. For good reason-- we’re taking care of real patients’ lives. But there’s a whole lot more to learn on the job, from delegation and leadership, to navigating day-to-day challenges in the ecosystem of a clinic.

I was SO focused on learning the clinical parts as a new NP, that I was caught by surprise at my first job. I didn’t realize how primary care offices work-- the business of running a clinic -- and the role I now played.

Understanding how primary care offices work from a business perspective can help you in SO many aspects of your job as a nurse practitioner-- from asking the right questions during a clinic interview, to negotiating salary, to making improvements in clinic workflow or requesting more support.

In this week’s video, I’m covering the foundations of how primary care clinics work from a business perspective, your role, and it will serve for the basis of a few upcoming videos where I address the “ideal world” and the “real world” of primary care offices, and how to navigate the common issues that come up.

I’ve heard/learned this about billing but the clinic I work at keeps telling me all of our patients are capitated and that “it doesn’t matter” ?!?! So I’m confused

Another great video! any suggestions on what education and/or training a new NP should be requesting from their new employer, that’s of course, appropriate? (NP at a primary care) Thanks!

NPs have to produce profit for the clinic and negotiate for the salary which is another stressor.
