However, if more people could get treatment, even if in-patient is the better course, then the choice to allow for more prescription of buprenorphine would seem to be the better course regardless of how it comes about. Unfortunately, the DATA law is very explicit in that it says that any person that prescribes buprenorphine has to be a "physician that is licensed under state law" (Fornili & Burda, 2009)
Methadone is only prescribed from specialized clinics and the amount of prescriptions for methadone, at least through 2010, was steady even with the sharp spike in new addicts. Further aggravating the availability of methadone is that the clinics that actually make use of it are spread out fairly widely and unevenly in many areas (O'Connor, 2010)
Between that and the fact that access to specialized clinics is not going to be optimal in many areas, the idea of keeping buprenorphine out of clinics that are not specifically geared towards addition would not be the best idea. It is, of course, probably best that it be limited to those clinics but doctors and nurse practitioners in areas without easy access to those services should have that as an option (Rundio, 2012)
Some people just need a little nudge, for example, to get out of an alcohol drinking habit while others are perpetually intoxicated and could die if they quit cold turkey. For the latter, the equivalent with opiates could not and should not be treated with buprenorphine but for those where the addiction is present but relatively minor, then the ability and willingness to prescribe buprenorphine needs to be there (Strobbe & Hobbins, 2012)
As a result, these kinds of nurses can offer specialized attention that will give patients more of a reason to take control of their health. (Allen, 2011, pp
¶ … Providers Over the last several years, the majority of graduating medical students (90%) has been focused on careers in specialized care. (Pickert, 2009) This is because they will make more money in comparison with doctors that are working in a primary care environment
I will be a spokesperson for the fact that nurse practitioners -- as independent healthcare providers -- are more and more trusted by the public. I will back up my strong contentions by refereeing to current studies, such as a recent one in the British Medical Journal (Horrocks, et al
The vitality and sense of professional satisfaction leaders and followers derive from happy faces on the families of patients -- who are also in the "who should care?" genre -- lend credence to much of what this book delivers, in terms of laying out the dynamics for change, so desperately needed the healthcare industry. A description of the "Preferred Future" that I seek in Healthcare Prior to discussing my preferred future in specifics, there are some points brought out in an article in Nursing and Health Care Perspectives (Ketefian, 2000), that deserve attention
Nursing Nurse Practitioner Role: Current and Future Trends If one is looking for a bare-bones description of today's nurse practitioner, a description presented in quite simple terms, it is convenient to turn to The International Council of Nurses; this organization defines the "nurse practitioner / advanced practice nurse" as an RN who has acquired an "expert knowledge base," who has a Master's degree, and whose expanded practice role is shaped "by the context and/or country in which he/she is credentialed to practice." Meanwhile, Cheryl Stegbauer, a faculty member and nurse practitioner (NP) at the University of Tennessee for the past thirty years, delves a bit deeper into the NP's role in shaping contemporary healthcare: "Most of the medical profession and patients" may understandably "scratch their heads about how the NP role is defined" (Nelson, 2004), Stegbauer offers
In addition, the nurse practitioner in Florida also prescribes pharmacological agents used for the management of the conditions of the patients alongside prescribing treatments, and non-pharmacologic therapies used in the hospital set up. Similarly, they enjoy other privileges such as prescribing laboratory and diagnostic procedures alongside interpreting laboratory and diagnostic results (Atlas, 2010)
Individuals are eligible to enroll for a national certification exam in their area of specialization to be certified as an NP. The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and American Credentialing Center certify the NPs (Buppert, 2008)
A heated discussion persists regarding what entails and measures patient satisfaction. Latest research agrees with the fact that improved health should be the final goal in mind (Laschinger, Almost, and Tuer-Hodes, 2003), compliance based on recommendations; focus on medical treatment and punctual keeping of appointments (Moore, Saywell, Thakker, and Jones, 2002; Williams, 1994), less usage of healthcare resources and avoid legal proceedings (Bowers, Swan, and Koehler, 1994; Thompson, Yarnold, Adams, and Spacone, 1996)
Using a binary tree progression combination of keywords and health services' titles, I searched for literature that related to and matching 'ED crowding' and the following patient outcome attributes (alternatively called assisting keywords): mortality, desperation, frustration, well-being in patients, and leaving the ED without being attended to. Using the same parameters of time and space, I also searched on the web for relevant values and quantities in the following journals: Emergency Medicine Journal; Emergency Medicine; Journal of Emergency Nursing; Annals of Emergency Medicine; European Journal of Emergency Medicine, and Academic Emergency Medicine (Carter, Pouch and Larson, 2014)

Timely care is a strong factor in patient contentment while waiting duration is the biggest factor contributed to patient contentment. At major Emergency Medicine (EM) conferences, it has become a heated debate especially those hosted each year by Society for Academic Emergency Medicine and the American College of Emergency Physicians (Derlet and Richards, 2008)
