Abstract
This commentary provides a summary of the key, autonomous role one Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) health care executive held in the relatively new clinical arena of the convenient care industry. The following provides an introduction to a developing professional practice model and an educational model for both family nurse practitioner and DNP students. Interdisciplinary practice is outlined, and clinical regulations and standards and legal and regulatory implications are discussed, not only in relation to NPs but as it relates to medical doctors (MDs) and physicians assistants (PAs) as well. The NP impact on patient and system outcomes will be presented, particularly as it relates to access, cost, patient satisfaction, quality, and safety. Finally, it concludes with a look at the current and future trends of services provided in this field of advanced practice nursing, including specific populations that may benefit from this approach to care delivery and the impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on delivering comprehensive health services.
