The Future of Care: Support Full Practice Authority


The Future of Care: Support Full Practice Authority
The Issue
Quality healthcare should not be determined by a zip code.
Across the country, thousands of residents in underserved communities face unnecessary hurdles to basic medical care. We are advocating for a modern healthcare model that empowers Nurse Practitioners (NPs) to provide the timely, affordable, and expert care their communities deserve.
By supporting Full Practice Authority (FPA), we can remove outdated regulatory barriers and ensure every patient has a direct path to wellness.
The Impact of Modernized Care
Expanding the Map: In FPA states, rural patients typically travel less than 30 minutes for care. In restricted areas, patients are 20% more likely to face long-distance commutes for primary services (Neff et al. 4).
Prioritizing Time: Modernizing NP regulations has been shown to reduce appointment wait times by an average of 8 days (Daniels 1). This efficiency allows for early intervention and better health outcomes.
Sustainable Solutions: NP-led care models are 34% more cost-effective for primary care visits (Razavi et al. 4), making essential services more accessible for uninsured and underinsured families.
A Standard of Excellence: Data confirms that NP care is safe and highly valued. Over 94% of patients report high levels of satisfaction and comfort with the care they receive (Kippenbrock et al. 2).
Our Mission
We believe in a healthcare system that puts people first. Granting nurse practitioners FPA is a data-driven solution that improves the availability, speed, and affordability of care for all.
