Clinicians Business Tip: How to Create an NP Specific Media Kit
Barbara C. Phillips, NP
Healthcare reform, primary care physician shortages and the movement toward a barrier free practice have made nurse practitioners (NPs) news worthy. NPs are being sought after for opinions and comments on topics such as the Future of Nursing Report, health care reform, expansion of state practice acts, legislative issues and more. Shedding our "secret NP" cloak is a task that belongs to all NPs. As a professional, you'll want to be ready to step up to the plate when the opportunity arises and a media kit can help you be prepared. . . .

Clinicians Business Tip: Collaborating Physicians: The Basics,Part 1
Barbara C. Phillips, NP
It's 2013 and still more than half the states require Nurse Practitioners and other advanced practices nurses (APN's) to have a formal collaborative (and in some states supervisory) relationship with a physician. While the Future of Nursing Report recommends removing barriers to full practice, it's likely to be slow going. Thus, finding and working with one or more collaborating physicians is a reality for many of us. However, the "political" climate and regulations in many states makes it challenging to do so. . . .

Clinicians' Business Tip: Keeping Legal Troubles at Bay
© 2012 Barbara C. Phillips, NP
Most health care providers, including nurse practitioners, are ever vigilant to issues of malpractice. We all chant "do no harm". And yet we are human. We fly through the day trying to get everything done -- seeing our patients, refilling medications, filling out authorizations, reports and other paperwork; ordering consults, therapies and test; interrupting test results, and so much more. And occasionally something does not get the attention it deserves -- including you! . . .
