The future of population medicine: Investigating the role of advanced practice providers and simulation education in special patient populations.
Disease-a-month : DM 2018 December 22
Advanced practice providers (APPs) have come to play an increasingly significant role in the United States healthcare system in the past five decades, particularly in primary care. The first portion of this paper will explore the utilization of APPs in specific patient populations: pediatrics, obstetrics, geriatrics, and psychiatry. After a brief discussion of the demand for these specialties, the authors will outline the educational preparation and competencies that nurse practitioners and physician assistants must achieve before working with these special populations. Finally, the authors will discuss the current and future roles of APPs in pediatric, obstetric, geriatric, and psychiatric populations. Simulated patient interactions and scenarios have become integrated into clinical education for many health care providers. Although traditionally utilized only in emergency medicine education, medical simulation has grown to become a staple of training in nearly every area of medicine. Healthcare providers of all levels can benefit from both individual and team-based training designed to improve everything from patient communication to procedural competence. The flexible nature of simulation training allows for customized teaching that is directly relevant to a specific specialty. The second half of this paper will demonstrate simulation's versatilite applications in the specialty areas of urgent care, pediatrics, mental health, geriatrics, and obstetrics.
