Nurse practitioner acceptance in private Ob/Gyn practice.
One of the ways to help meet consumer demands is by utilizing nurse practitioners in private Ob/Gyn practices. To determine consumer satisfaction with a nurse practitioner in one such practice, patients were asked to fill out a response sheet after their examination by the nurse practitioner. The 86 patients felt they received a good medical examination and would be willing to see the nurse practitioner on future visits. The physician and nurse practitioner found this change in delivery of health care to be a positive experience for both patient and professional.
