Discuss the following tools that can be used to evaluate nurse practitioners’ practice.
Here is an example of a valid and reliable tool that can be used. The Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Organizational Climate Questionnaire was used to measure practice environments with the following 4 subscales: NP-Physician Relations, Independent Practice, and Support, Professional Visibility, and NP-Administration Relations. Three Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set measures were used to evaluate the quality of care (Poghosyan et al., 2018).
