Abstract
The demands placed on primary care physicians in the ambulatory setting are increasing. The focus of this program development project was to implement a team-based care model between physicians and a nurse practitioner (NP) to assist in meeting these demands. The project included implementation of a standardized NP schedule template and a team-based schedule workflow, in order to move towards a team-based care model with the goal of the positively impacting chronic care management, increase annual patient visits, and increase effective NP utilization in an ambulatory care setting.
