Use of PA/NP/RNFA in Orthopaedic Trauma

Recorded OTA Webinar On-Demand (No CME credit awarded.)

Webinar Description:

New roles for APPs (Advanced Practice Providers) have occurred throughout health care, but predominantly in acute care settings. Orthopedic trauma practices can benefit from APPs, but there are many challenges to the successful integration of the APP role (Bryant-Lukosius, D. 2004). These challenges include scheduling patients and defining appropriate roles and responsibilities for performing procedures. Utilizing APPs can help create efficiencies in the OT practice and enhance patient experiences. (Bryant-Lukosius, D. 2004) but there can be challenges to understanding the value of the addition of an APP. It is important for orthopedic surgeons and their practice managers to learn how to most effectively integrate an APP into their OT practice, given their institutional culture, bylaws and setting as well as legal statues regarding scope of practice and reimbursement. 

Objectives:

• Discuss appropriate roles of APPs in an orthopedic trauma practice
• Describe the benefits of APPs in an orthopedic trauma practice
• List the limitations of APPs in the orthopedic trauma practice
• Develop a strategy to integrate APPs into an orthopedic trauma practice, beginning with effective recruitment for new APPs
