Experience of a physician-nurse practitioner team in care of patients in skilled nursing facilities.

The use of a physician-nurse practitioner team is advocated as an approach to delivering better health care to patients in skilled nursing facilities. The application of this approach in a young community with an inadequate supply of primary physicians and 596 extended care beds is discussed. Patients derive benefit from more comprehensive health care delivered with greater attention to individual needs. Staffs of skilled nursing facilities enjoy improved communication with the medical team and better compliance with legal requirements. The team physician is able to use his time more effectively and provide medical supervision for a greater number of patients by sharing responsibilities with a nurse practitioner. Paper compliance, adherence to agency regulations, quality assurance, and payment are some of the problems encountered.
