International priorities for home care education, research, practice, and management: qualitative content analysis.
The purpose of this study was to articulate an international vision for the future of home care education, research, practice, and management shared by experienced home care nurses working in leadership roles. Four major themes emerged, in this qualitative study, reflecting international priorities for the future of home care education, research, practice, and management: 1) Build the evidence base for home care; 2) Design better systems of care; 3) Develop leaders at all levels; and 4) Address payment and policy issues.

Nurse practitioners and their effects on visits to primary care physicians.
The researchers examined the effects of visits to nurse practitioners (NPs) on the demand for primary care physician services. Using a system of simultaneous equations where states’ education requirements for NPs are an identifying exclusion restriction, they found that patients who visit an NP are significantly less likely to visit PCPs, and to receive prescribed medication, medical check-up, and diagnosis from PCPs.
