Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) provide access to cost-effective, high quality care. APRNs are underutilized in states that restrict their practice. Removing restrictions could expand access to quality health care, cost-effectively relieve the physician shortage, and contribute economically.
This study forecasts the health system and economic impacts of reducing practice restrictions for Florida APRNs.
The analysis utilized a number of data sources and IMPLAN software and estimated changes in APRN supply given less restrictive practice laws, and consequential health system and economic benefits.
Between 2013 and 2025 APRN full time equivalents could increase an additional 11% with less restrictive practice regulations. This could eliminate or reduce the shortage of different types of physicians. Health care cost-savings could be $50 to $493 per resident. There would be a number of general economic benefits.
A number of health system and economic benefits would ensue from less restrictive APRN regulation.
高级执业注册护士（APRN）提供具有成本效益的高质量护理。在限制其执业的州，APRN 的利用率较低。取消限制可以扩大获得高质量医疗保健的机会，有效地缓解医生短缺问题，并促进经济发展。
本研究预测了减少佛罗里达州 APRN 执业限制对医疗体系和经济的影响。
该分析利用了多个数据源和 IMPLAN 软件，并根据更宽松的实践法规估计了 APRN 供应的变化，以及随之而来的医疗体系和经济效益。
在 2013 年至 2025 年期间，更宽松的实践法规可能会使 APRN 的全职当量增加 11%。这可以消除或减少不同类型医生的短缺。医疗保健成本节省可能为每位居民 50 至 493 美元。还将产生许多一般经济效益。
更宽松的 APRN 监管将带来许多医疗体系和经济效益。
