چکیده
BACKGROUND Nurse practitioners (NPs) have been registered in New Zealand (NZ) since 2002. This article describes a sample of their practices and outcomes across a variety of healthcare specialties. The PEPPA model was used as a guide for the organization of data, the discussion of findings, and recommendations for the future. METHODS Two e-mailed surveys of registered NPs (including qualitative and quantitative data) were conducted by the professional organization, NPNZ in 2011 and 2012. CONCLUSIONS After 10 years, NPs in NZ demonstrated efficient practice and have produced measurable improved healthcare outcomes. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE NP practices are continuing to develop and are contributing to increased access to health care and improved health outcomes in NZ.
