In rural America, access to health care remains a significant challenge, impacting individuals' health outcomes and overall well-being. Rural residents face barriers that hinder their ability to receive timely and appropriate care. This is where Conduit Health Partner’s Nurse-First triage steps in as a lifeline for these communities.

This approach not only bridges the gap in access to care but also empowers patients and their families with the information and support they need in moments of distress. It's about delivering the right care, at the right time, and in the right place.

Heading into 2024... 🟣  More than 102 million people nationwide now live in primary care shortage areas. 🟣  Patient wait times for healthcare appointments are increasing, with more than 40% of polled patients reporting 'longer than reasonable' wait times for care. 🟣  Demand for senior care continues to rise as the population ages, requiring more healthcare providers to meet patients' growing healthcare needs. Nurse practitioners are ready to address these challenges in 2024 and beyond, with nearly 90% of NPs clinically trained to deliver high-quality primary care. To fully utilize our NP workforce, Pennsylvania must grant NPs Full Practice Authority in 2024, which would increase patient access in primary care shortage areas, allow NPs to screen more patients for physical and mental health conditions, and shorten wait times for patients to access the care they need. #nursepractitioners #fullpracticeauthority #accesstocare #healthcareshortages #primarycare

Nurses play a vital role in healthcare by providing not just medical care but also emotional support, empathy, and compassion to patients and their families.
