Abstract
BackgroundPrimary care delivered by nurse practitioners (NPs) helps to meet the United States’ growing demand for care and improves patient outcomes. Yet, barriers impede NP practice. Knowledge of these barriers is limited, hindering opportunities to eliminate them. PurposeWe convened a 1.5-day conference to develop a research agenda to advance evidence on the primary care NP workforce. MethodsThirty experts gathered in New York City for a conference in 2022. The conference included plenary sessions, small group discussions, and a prioritization process to identify areas for future research and research questions. DiscussionThe research agenda includes top-ranked research questions within five categories: (a) policy regulations and implications for care, quality, and access; (b) systems affecting NP practice; (c) health equity and the NP workforce; (d) NP education and workforce dynamics, and (e) international perspectives. ConclusionThe agenda can advance evidence on the NP workforce to guide policy and practice.
