Access and Barriers to Care “Consumers deserve high quality, convenience, value and expanded choice in the providers who deliver their core primary care services” (John Rother, AARP, 2010) Strategies Outcomes Inform, engage and motivate government, payers and business in expanding practice opportunities and payment for the full range of primary care providers. All states remove barriers to APRNs practicing to full extent by 2020. Position APRNs as a high quality choice for consumers through effective outreach and marketing. By 2020, payers establish payment policies that recognize consumer choice across the range of primary care providers. Identify federal levers to incentivize states to modernize state scope of practice laws.
