Growing Pains of Nonphysician Providers in Radiology.
Nonphysician providers (NPPs) place in medicine continues to evolve regardless of controversy. NPPs presence in academic and private practices continues to grow in all fields. Despite their growth, there remains Contention and debate about the capability, safety, efficiency, and aptitude of NPP's abilities for proper image ordering, image interpretation, and performing radiology-related tasks. NNPs role in healthcare across the United States continues to grow in all facets of healthcare, including radiology and radiologist related procedures. The claims submitted by NPPs involving radiology have significantly increased. However, current research suggests that the current scope of practice maintains the levels of capability, safety, efficiency and aptitude of a physician. It is imperative to note that there remains no evidence comparing diagnostic accuracy/errors between NPPs and radiologists. Despite the increased radiology services rendered by NPPs, the output of NPPs is still fractional compared to radiologists but it is mostly fluoroscopy and radiography. As with medical student education, the education for NPPs has continued to grow to encompass more aspects of medicine, including radiology. Evidence-based programs for NPP radiology training offers potential to encourage proper radiology service rendering. 10,15 NPPs are skilled in their ability to provide care for specific common conditions and potential greater ability to follow protocol. All of these factors promote the opportunity to take tedious tasks and/or cases from overworked radiologists to pursue greater generation of profit and work-life balance.
