• Total Physicians- 954,000• Primary Care- 352, 908• Need 45,000 primary care specialists and 46,100

Increase Life Span Compounds Problem
• Advances in care, such as a 50% reduction in mortality for cardiovascular disease, will only expand the need for more physicians. Lidia M. Niecko-Najjum, a senior research and policy analyst at the AAMC.
• Aging population• Increases in the chronically ill

Physician Dissatisfaction and Early Retirement
• Physicians are growing dissatisfied with their work. One in three practicing physicians older than 55 is expected to retire in the next 10 to 15 years, Grover writes.
• Younger physicians are seeking better work-life balance seek to work fewer hours than their predecessors.
• Emergence of concierge medicine

Impact of Politicians• Lack of understanding (or at least preparation) regarding
what is logistically required to deliver the ACA vision.• Since 1965, Medicare has been the largest supporter of
graduate medical education programs and has paid for its share of training costs. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 imposed a cap on Medicare funded-GME at 1996 levels.
• Last March, 528 qualified 2013 medical school graduates were not matched to a residency training position, 758 qualified medical doctors who had graduated prior to 2013 also failed to be matched.

Affordable Care Act Provides Grant Funding for Nurse Managed Health Clinics (NMHC)
The purpose of this initiative is to provide federal funding to support the development and operation of Nurse Managed Health Clinics (NMHCs) to:
1) Improve access to comprehensive primary health care services and/or wellness services (disease prevention and health promotion) across the lifespan
2) Provide these services in medically underserved and/ or vulnerable populations without regard to income or insurance status of the patient
US Dept of Health and Human Services, 2010

Surplus’s in Other Health Care Providers Will Help?
• A surplus of 34,000 nurse practitioners, about 48% above demand, and 4,000 surplus physician assistants will help relieve the doctor shortage, David Auerbach, Rand Corp.
• At least 17 states now allow NPs to work without a supervising physician.
• Lawmakers in five big states are considering similar measures California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
• The National Conference of State Legislatures reports that state legislatures considered 349 measures aimed at loosening NP licensing restrictions in 2011 and 2012. So far this year, 178 proposals have been considered.

Potential Impact On Future Competency Management Practices?• Hospitals in relevant States are already
considering whether they will redefine nursing practice to be independent
• Medicare billing requirements promote independent practice for CRNAs, CNMs, but continue to imply that NP’s are subject to some form of physician collaboration (while at the same time referencing conformance to State Law) and PA’s to physician supervision.
• New categories of practitioners are being created in many States
• Exceptions are being granted for “pilot projects”

Just Last Week: Advanced Dental Therapist
• New license in Minnesota• 50% of practice must be applied
to low income patients or in a dental health shortage area
• May dispense administer antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, etc.
• Two levels of supervision – Onsite or offsite

Examples of Items That May Be Included in Licensed Scope of Practice
*Dental assessment and formulation of treatment plan*Restoration of primary and permanent teeth*Preparation and placement of preformed crowns*Tooth reimplantation and stabilization*Administration of local anesthetic*Administration of nitrous oxide*Pulpotemies on primary teeth*Extractions of mobile primary teeth

So Where Are We?As we contemplate what may lie ahead we need
to begin to envision how…… • Traditional medical models will be impacted
by these changes• The way we organize and execute
competency management programs will be impacted

Our Posture
• Don’t resist these trends. • Assist your organization to thoughtfully
examine these trends. • Implement new roles where it is beneficial to
patients.
