Primary care delivered by nurse practitioners (NPs) helps to meet the United States' growing demand for care and improves patient outcomes. Yet, barriers impede NP practice. Knowledge of these barriers is limited, hindering opportunities to eliminate them.
We convened a 1.5-day conference to develop a research agenda to advance evidence on the primary care NP workforce.
Thirty experts gathered in New York City for a conference in 2022. The conference included plenary sessions, small group discussions, and a prioritization process to identify areas for future research and research questions.
The research agenda includes top-ranked research questions within five categories: (a) policy regulations and implications for care, quality, and access; (b) systems affecting NP practice; (c) health equity and the NP workforce; (d) NP education and workforce dynamics, and (e) international perspectives.
The agenda can advance evidence on the NP workforce to guide policy and practice.
护士从业者（NP）提供的初级保健有助于满足美国对医疗保健日益增长的需求，并改善患者的治疗效果。然而，一些障碍限制了 NP 的实践。对这些障碍的了解有限，阻碍了消除它们的机会。
我们召开了为期 1.5 天的会议，制定了一项研究议程，旨在为初级保健 NP 劳动力提供更多证据。
30 名专家于 2022 年在纽约市聚集参加了一次会议。会议包括全体会议、小组讨论和优先排序过程，以确定未来研究和研究问题的领域。
研究议程包括五个类别的排名最高的研究问题：(a) 政策法规对护理、质量和可及性的影响；(b) 影响 NP 实践的系统；(c) 卫生公平和 NP 劳动力；(d) NP 教育和劳动力动态；(e) 国际视角。
该议程可以推进 NP 劳动力的证据，以指导政策和实践。
