Alignment of scope-of-practice authority with credentialing and privileging, billing and reimbursement, workforce deployment, and organizational governance is necessary for legal authority to translate into measurable health system contributions.

- Nurse leaders' perceptions of integrating the nurse practitioner role in Finland's wellbeing services counties: A qualitative study. [Journal Article]Nurs Outlook. 2026 Aug 04; 74(5):102852. [Online ahead of print]NO
- CONCLUSIONS: Successful NP integration requires strong nursing leadership and governance. Although large-scale reforms create opportunities to redesign professional roles and workforce models, integration depends on a clear strategic vision and coordinated leadership across policy, organizational and clinical levels. Even when the value of NP roles is recognized, implementation is likely to remain fragmented unless nursing leaders are actively involved in workforce planning, service development and health policy decision-making.

- Structural determinants of scope of practice in advanced practice nursing in anesthesia: A global scoping review and thematic synthesis. [Journal Article]Nurs Outlook. 2026 Jul 30; 74(5):102850. [Online ahead of print]NO
- CONCLUSIONS: Global variation in APNA scope of practice appears to be shaped more strongly by structural and political conditions than by clinical capability alone. Harmonized educational standards, clearer regulatory recognition, and reimbursement policies not contingent upon physician supervision may facilitate more consistent integration of APNAs within the global anesthesia workforce.

- The facilitators and barriers of nurse practitioner primary care practice ownership: A qualitative analysis. [Journal Article]Nurs Outlook. 2026 Jul 28; 74(5):102851. [Online ahead of print]NO
- CONCLUSIONS: NP-owned primary care practices face compounding structural barriers that threaten long-term viability, including reduced reimbursement, supervision costs, credentialing delays, and limited access to capital. As primary care demand rises and the NP workforce continues to expand, supporting the growth and sustainability of NP-owned practices is a critically needed investment in the US primary care infrastructure. Coordinated action by federal and state policymakers, payers, financial institutions, and health systems is needed, particularly to strengthen access in rural and underserved communities.
