Reassessment of the interaction between a worksite hypertension program and private physicians.
We investigated how nurse practitioners attending at worksite hypertension clinics were perceived as care providers by both patients enrolled in the clinics and their private physicians. This study indicates a very favorable attitude towards nurse practitioners from both patients and private practitioners and gives additional support for the utilization of nurse practitioners as effective health care providers in the management of common and chronic illness.
