Topic Question: Identify two provisions of the PPACA that help APRNs in their practice. Specify how.
Question:
Though the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act has positives related to healthcare reform, there are some downsides to it. One downside is that carrying out healthcare services might be more cost effective for the provider, meaning that they may not make as much money.
In turn, this affects job growth and, unfortunately, could potentially affect the type of care that a patient receives (Kaiser Family Foundation, n.d.) With that being said, what is one solution or policy change to the PPACA that a nurse practitioner could propose to not only provider higher payout for services, but better care for patients?
