Onboarding and Working with APPs

Over the next few years, Dr. Mitchell expects the number of APPs will grow. APPs “will have more national leadership roles and will be recognized as the essential part of the healthcare system that they clearly are,” he said. “Most new patients/families who see APPs are extremely satisfied. APPs consistently get higher patient satisfaction scores than physicians. This speaks for itself.”
