Hi class, 
Topics to review during our first week of the course:
How Healthcare reform is impacting primary care https://www.ajmc.com/contributor/sophia-bernazzani/2016/03/how-healthcare-reform-is-impactingprimarycare
¢Healthcare reform 101: What the health is going on in 2018? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwTWhwWLzHQ
¢Healthcare Transformation and Changing Roles for Nursing https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5266427/pdf/ornur3612.pdf
Frequently when the shortage of primary care providers is mentioned with regard to healthcare reform, insurance companies and other institutions forget to factor in the impact nurse practitioners can have on increasing access. How do you think we can improve this understanding of the nurse practitioner role?
Thank you
