APPs see patients of all ages and provide a range of essential health care services. They can diagnose, manage, and treat patients with chronic and acute health care conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAPPs are essential in the day-to-day care of our patients at Cooper,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/daniel-hyman-do\">Daniel Hyman, DO<\/a>, Medical Director, Population Health and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/primary-care-family-medicine-and-internal-medicine\">Primary Care<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cThey are highly trained and skilled at delivering primary and specialty care while emphasizing health education and disease prevention. Our physicians have great confidence in our APP colleagues and rely on their partnership in caring for needs of our patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>How Are APPs Different From Doctors?<\/h3>\n<p>APPs are health care professionals who have completed additional intensive training beyond their initial professional licensure. They are different from doctors in two important ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They have a different educational path than physician (MD or DO).<\/li>\n<li>They can provide much of the same care as physicians, but they may not be able to perform certain procedures or surgeries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>APPs are most commonly nurse practitioners (NPs) or physician assistants (PAs). Another type of APP is the certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA), who works in the OR or procedure-related areas where patients require anesthesia. The most significant differences between NPs and PAs are their training, where they work, and the scope of their practice. An APP must have a master\u2019s degree or higher to practice and the type of degree will depend on their specific role.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking as an APP at Cooper allows me to partner with members of our health care team to develop individualized care plans that address health and wellness needs of my patients,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/mary-elizabeth-gaskill-msn\">Mary-Elizabeth Gaskill, MSN, APN<\/a>, Lead Advanced Practice Provider for Adult Primary Care at Cooper. \u201cI get to be a healer and a teacher and I love taking the time to get to know my patients so I can provide the best possible care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This week marks National Nurse Practitioner week. Nurse practitioners, also known as advanced practice nurses, and physician assistants play a critical role as trusted providers of health care. As the demand for health services has grown, their role has expanded.<\/p>\n<p>NPs complete training in advanced nursing practice, where they focus on specialized roles, much like physicians specialize in neurology, cardiology, and other specific body systems or diseases. They earn a graduate-level nursing degree \u2014 either a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) or a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP).<\/p>\n<p>Nurse practitioners can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Diagnose and treat acute and chronic conditions, such as diabetes, heart failure, and pneumonia<\/li>\n<li>Order medications, therapies, and other treatments<\/li>\n<li>Perform and interpret diagnostic tests (e.g., X-rays, lab work)<\/li>\n<li>Provide patient education<\/li>\n<li>Advise patients on their health care plan<\/li>\n<li>Perform specialty-specific responsibilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Physician Assistants (PAs) complete education in general medicine and earn a Master of Science (MS) or Master of Physician Assistant Studies (MPAS). Their training includes all fundamental elements of medicine and specialty fields, which they learn through classroom instruction and clinical experience. Most PAs have an undergraduate education in biological, premedical, or scientific study. They partner with physicians and other health care providers to deliver primary and specialty care. In a typical day, a PA may:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take medical histories<\/li>\n<li>Order and interpret lab tests and diagnostic tests<\/li>\n<li>Perform physical exams<\/li>\n<li>Diagnose and treat illness<\/li>\n<li>Assist in surgery<\/li>\n<li>Educate patients about their treatment plan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Where Do APPs Work?<\/h3>\n<p>Like physicians, APPs work in a variety of patient settings. You may find them in the following roles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Seeing patients in outpatient offices<\/li>\n<li>Providing inpatient care<\/li>\n<li>Conducting research and clinical trials<\/li>\n<li>Providing survivorship care<\/li>\n<li>Helping patients to manage high-risk conditions<\/li>\n<li>Performing health screenings in a clinic<\/li>\n<li>Working in education and administration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the current national shortage of doctors and the heightened demand for health services, APPs have the advanced training and expertise needed to step in and provide continuity of care for patients. Their presence increases the availability of appointments and drives down health care costs.<\/p>\n<p>The nature of their practice often allows APPs to spend more time with patients, increasing satisfaction with care. Although there will always be services that only doctors can provide, APPs provide a reliable alternative for many health care needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAPPs are an essential,\u201d Dr. Hyman states. \u201cWithout their skills and abilities to handle acute and chronic situations, access to care for our patients would be greatly limited. Our patients and health system benefit from their expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To make an appointment with an APP at a Cooper office near you, call <a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.8.COOPER<\/a> (<a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.826.6737<\/a>) or use our <a href=\"https:\/\/request.cooperhealth.org\/request.php?source=ehealth_blog\">online form<\/a> to make an appointment.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"espanol\"><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>C\u00f3mo las aplicaciones mejoran la experiencia del paciente<\/h2>\n<p>Se necesita un equipo para brindar atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica de alta calidad. Dependiendo de las circunstancias, su equipo puede incluir un proveedor de atenci\u00f3n primaria, enfermeras, especialistas, asistentes m\u00e9dicos, farmac\u00e9uticos, varios terapeutas y, cada vez con mayor frecuencia, proveedores de pr\u00e1ctica avanzada (APP).<\/p>\n<p>Cooper emplea cientos de aplicaciones en nuestras oficinas para pacientes hospitalizados y ambulatorios en todo el sur de Jersey. Las APP atienden a pacientes de todas las edades y brindan una variedad de servicios esenciales de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica. Pueden diagnosticar, manejar y tratar a pacientes con condiciones m\u00e9dicas cr\u00f3nicas y agudas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLas APP son esenciales en la atenci\u00f3n diaria de nuestros pacientes en Cooper\u201d, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/daniel-hyman-do\">Daniel Hyman, DO<\/a>, Director M\u00e9dico, Salud de la Poblaci\u00f3n y <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/primary-care-family-medicine-and-internal-medicine\">Atenci\u00f3n Primaria<\/a> en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cEst\u00e1n altamente capacitados y capacitados para brindar atenci\u00f3n primaria y especializada, al mismo tiempo que enfatizan la educaci\u00f3n para la salud y la prevenci\u00f3n de enfermedades.

Se diferencian de los m\u00e9dicos en dos aspectos importantes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tienen una trayectoria educativa diferente a la del m\u00e9dico (MD o DO).<\/li>\n<li>Pueden brindar gran parte de la misma atenci\u00f3n que los m\u00e9dicos, pero es posible que no puedan realizar ciertos procedimientos o cirug\u00edas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Los APP son m\u00e1s com\u00fanmente enfermeras practicantes (NP) o asistentes m\u00e9dicos (PA). Otro tipo de APP es la enfermera anestesista registrada certificada (CRNA), que trabaja en el quir\u00f3fano o \u00e1reas relacionadas con procedimientos donde los pacientes requieren anestesia. Las diferencias m\u00e1s significativas entre NP y PA son su formaci\u00f3n, el lugar donde trabajan y el alcance de su pr\u00e1ctica. Un APP debe tener un t\u00edtulo de maestr\u00eda o superior para ejercer y el tipo de t\u00edtulo depender\u00e1 de su rol espec\u00edfico.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrabajar como APP en Cooper me permite asociarme con miembros de nuestro equipo de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica para desarrollar planes de atenci\u00f3n individualizados que aborden las necesidades de salud y bienestar de mis pacientes\u201d, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/mary-elizabeth-gaskill-msn\">Mary-Elizabeth Gaskill, MSN, APN<\/a>, proveedora principal de pr\u00e1ctica avanzada para adultos Atenci\u00f3n Primaria en Cooper. \u201cLlego a ser un sanador y un maestro y me encanta tomarme el tiempo para conocer a mis pacientes para poder brindar la mejor atenci\u00f3n posible\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Esta semana marca la Semana Nacional de Enfermer\u00eda Practicante. Los enfermeros practicantes, tambi\u00e9n conocidos como enfermeros de pr\u00e1ctica avanzada, y los asistentes m\u00e9dicos desempe\u00f1an un papel fundamental como proveedores confiables de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica.

Obtienen un t\u00edtulo de posgrado en enfermer\u00eda, ya sea una Maestr\u00eda en Ciencias en Enfermer\u00eda (MSN) o un Doctorado en Pr\u00e1ctica de Enfermer\u00eda (DNP).<\/p>\n<p>Los profesionales de enfermer\u00eda pueden:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Diagnosticar y tratar afecciones agudas y cr\u00f3nicas, como diabetes, insuficiencia card\u00edaca y neumon\u00eda.<\/li>\n<li>Solicitar medicamentos, terapias y otros tratamientos<\/li>\n<li>Realizar e interpretar pruebas de diagn\u00f3stico (p. ej., radiograf\u00edas, an\u00e1lisis de laboratorio)<\/li>\n<li>Proporcionar educaci\u00f3n al paciente<\/li>\n<li>Asesorar a los pacientes sobre su plan de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica.<\/li>\n<li>Realizar responsabilidades espec\u00edficas de la especialidad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Los asistentes m\u00e9dicos (PA) completan su educaci\u00f3n en medicina general y obtienen una maestr\u00eda en ciencias (MS) o una maestr\u00eda en estudios de asistente m\u00e9dico (MPAS). Su formaci\u00f3n incluye todos los elementos fundamentales de la medicina y los campos de especialidad, que aprenden a trav\u00e9s de la instrucci\u00f3n en el aula y la experiencia cl\u00ednica. La mayor\u00eda de los PA tienen una educaci\u00f3n universitaria en estudios biol\u00f3gicos, prem\u00e9dicos o cient\u00edficos. Se asocian con m\u00e9dicos y otros proveedores de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica para brindar atenci\u00f3n primaria y especializada.
