An innovative primary care practice managed and staffed by Columbia University School of Nursing faculty opened at Columbia-Presbyterian Eastside in midtown Manhattan on September 29, 1997. The faculty's first commercial venture, Columbia Advanced Practice Nurse Associates (CAPNA), responded to the need to further validate cost, quality, and competence benefits of advanced practice nurses. The aim is to show these benefits exist for patients who are not in the underserved populations historically served by advanced practice nurses. CAPNA is the first faculty group practice in nursing contracted with managed care companies as primary care providers under the same reimbursement arrangements as physicians.
1997年9月29日，由哥伦比亚大学护理学院教员管理并配备人员的一家创新型初级保健机构在曼哈顿中城的哥伦比亚长老会东区开业。教员们的首个商业项目——哥伦比亚高级执业护士协会（CAPNA），回应了进一步验证高级执业护士在成本、质量和能力方面优势的需求。其目标是向那些不属于高级执业护士以往服务的医疗服务不足人群的患者证明这些优势的存在。CAPNA是护理领域首个教员团体诊所，作为初级保健提供者与管理式医疗公司签约，其报销安排与医生相同。
