The Nurse Practitioner (NP) provides service to patients in designated care settings, including acute, short- and long-term care, by assisting physicians, assessing patients, and treating injuries and ailments. The NP obtains a thorough medical history, performs examinations and/or assessments to determine patient needs, and works with other healthcare professionals to analyze and interpret information collected from patients, medical records, symptoms, physical findings, or diagnostic information to develop appropriate diagnoses.

The NP demonstrates the importance of care coordination by rounding on patients, working collaboratively with providers, and independently providing care. Treatment plans are formulated, and medications prescribed based on efficacy, safety, and cost as legally authorized if necessary. Complete and detailed records of patients’ health care plans and prognoses are maintained in a timely manner. The NP makes necessary healthcare referrals, provides patients with information and counseling to promote health, reduce risk factors, or prevent disease or disability, and tailors instructions to individual circumstances.

The NP may participate in clinical research studies and incorporates evidence‑based practice guidelines throughout care. The NP maintains current knowledge of state legal regulations for advanced practice provider practices, reimbursement of services, regulatory processes, and payer systems such as Medicare, Medicaid, managed care, and private sources, and demonstrates extensive advanced knowledge of medical principles, practices, and techniques.
