Strategies offered by professionals for handling the expanding role of Advanced Practice Providers explained
The healthcare landscape is evolving, and so is the role of Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) within it. The Winning Edge series, an extension of the HealthLeaders Exchange program, is set to delve into this topic in a forthcoming webinar.
Historically, the belief that physicians should lead care teams under all circumstances has been prevalent among CMOs and other healthcare leaders. However, this view is changing, as the optimal role for APPs in providing team-based care becomes a topic of increasing discussion.
The upcoming Winning Edge webinar, scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 16, from 1 to 2 PM ET, will explore this evolving consideration. The discussion will focus on the optimal role for APPs in inpatient care, outpatient clinics, and specialty clinics, as well as whether APPs can lead care teams. Another key topic will be the optimal role for APPs in providing team-based care.
APPs have become a vital workforce resource for health systems, hospitals, and medical groups due to physician shortages in many specialties. This has led to their deployment in various settings, including emergency departments that lack 24/7 physician coverage.
Jill Kalman, MD, CMO of Northwell Health, believes that physician-led collaborative care teams deliver the best patient outcomes. At Northwell, a well-designed care model sees different team members contributing their expertise, with physicians providing oversight and team decision-making for complex cases.
However, the role of APPs in team-based care is not without debate. Some suggest that APPs should be able to lead care teams, while others advocate for physician-led collaborative care teams. Suzanne Wenderoth, MD, executive vice president and CMO of Tower Health, expects APPs such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants to play leading roles on care teams more often. At Tower Health, APPs and nurses are under consideration for leadership roles on care teams.
The webinar will also discuss balancing support versus supervision in the APP-physician relationship, successful models for APP onboarding and orientation, professional development opportunities for APPs, and the biggest challenges faced when deploying APPs.

In conclusion, the role of APPs in healthcare is undergoing a significant shift, and the upcoming Winning Edge webinar promises to shed light on this evolving landscape. Whether you're a healthcare leader, a physician, or an APP, this webinar is an opportunity to gain insights and perspectives that could shape the future of care delivery.
