For health systems and hospitals, one of the most effective strategies for retention of advanced practice providers is to offer professional development opportunities.
This week, HealthLeaders held the latest webinar in The Winning Edge series. The webinar was titled "The Winning Edge for Handling the APP Boom."
A three-member panel of experts discussed a range of topics, including the importance of APP onboarding programs, leadership roles for APPs, and deploying APPs in primary care. The panelists were Teresa Caulin-Glaser, MD, executive vice president and chief clinical officer at OhioHealth; Debra Fournier, DNP, APRN, chief advanced practice provider officer at Dartmouth Health; and Read Pierce, MD, CMO at Denver Health.
The infographic below features the panelists' four tips for offering professional development opportunities for APPs.
The Winning Edge series is an extension of the HealthLeaders Exchange program. The HealthLeaders Exchange is an exclusive, executive community for sharing ideas, solutions, and insights.
