News From Health Affairs
Dear John,
On September 22 we're hosting a Briefing that is open to all on the
topic of physician burnout and workforce strain. The event is part of
the Practice of Medicine series
focusing on
important health policy issues affecting physicians. Register to attend
!
Mental Health Care
Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are nurse
practitioners with additional education and certification related to
mental health.
In a recent article, Arno Cai and coauthors report that the number of
PMHNPs treating Medicare beneficiaries increased by 162 percent
from 2011 to 2019, compared with a decrease of 6 percent for
psychiatrists during the same period.
The authors find that the proportion of all mental health prescriber
visits provided by PMHNPs increased from 12.5 percent to 29.8 percent
during 2011-19, exceeding 50 percent in rural, full-scope-of-practice
regions.
"The patterns we observed imply that PMHNPs are filling in the gap in
outpatient demand left behind by a diminishing psychiatrist supply,"
the authors conclude.
The authors suggest that these changes in care delivery could be driven
in part by the fact that a majority of psychiatrists do not accept
Medicare insurance.
Our September issue includes additional articles, like this one, that
cover nursing and care delivery. Subscribe today unlock the full journal
as well as our archive of Health Affairs articles.
