Our nonphysician provider (NPP) experience has transformed the functioning and image of our practice. It allows the practice to care for poorly compensated or noncompensated patients and contains costs under managed care. NPPs enable our physicians to maintain reasonable workloads and focus their energy and skills on high-level diagnosis and treatment. This decreases the risk of physician burnout, and allows a diminishing supply of gastroenterologists to practice medicine until normal retirement age. NPPs greatly enhance physician productivity, revenue, and patient and physician satisfaction.
我们非医生医疗服务提供者（NPP）的经验改变了我们诊所的运作方式和形象。它使诊所能够照顾报酬微薄或无报酬的患者，并在管理式医疗下控制成本。NPP使我们的医生能够保持合理的工作量，并将精力和技能集中在高水平的诊断和治疗上。这降低了医生职业倦怠的风险，并使数量日益减少的胃肠病学家能够行医至正常退休年龄。NPP极大地提高了医生的工作效率、收入以及患者和医生的满意度。
