Abstract
In this study, we examine nurse practitioner (NP) practice and regulatory factors associated with NP independent panel management. We use survey data from 1,244 NPs from 6 states. Independent panel management was not associated with NP demographic characteristics. NP work environments, practice type, and practice size were associated with independent practice management. NPs practicing in states with more restrictive regulatory environments had less independent panel management. NP workforce can play an important role in increasing access to primary care, but facilitators and barriers to NP independence must be scrutinized to develop more efficient models of primary care delivery.
