This presentation discusses the development and results of a study addressing how RNs are currently practicing within Midwestern community-based clinic settings, what barriers exist under current primary care practice models that hinder RNs from practicing to their full scope, what educational gaps exist that prevent RNs from practicing to their full scope, and what the perceived benefits to healthcare cost and quality include for employing RNs to practice at their highest level of training in primary care.

This was EXCELLENT and spot on. Primary care RNs always struggle with fractured workflows when they are expected to always be available to manage phones /triage calls as well as complicated and time consuming care coordination needs of the patient..(in addition to many other things...) There is also the complexities of medical home model, teams and collocation which has its value but is not an optimal environment for focused telephone triage
Fantastic presentation! Thanks so much for your comprehensive sharing on the RN role! The information you shared is reflected in our own HRSA, NEPQR primary care RN roles in the clinics. I will probably watch this presentation again!!!
So many things run true with this and validate the important nursing role in ambulatory. Will get this on the agenda to discuss next time I meet with our CON colleagues. Also great points on how our electronic health records to not capture what is contributed by nursing in the overall care of the patient. Thanks for all your hard work! I am sure time intense to gather such data.
This presentation was wonderful. Definitely true in all ways for our practice. It is so important for curriculum of nursing school to be changed to account for primary/ambulatory care nursing. There are so many misconceptions of the work happening in primary care offices and the building blocks our teams put together to better the health of our patients.
Great presentation. Very relevant and reflective of the current state of most primary care practices. I look forward to the greater study and your findings. Awesome work.

Time management is a very important and difficult part of the RN role, it is difficulty to quantify most of that role.
