Collaboration Issues continue to plague Nurse Practitioners. How can you avoid some of the problems, pitfalls, and issues?
In this Episode of the NP Business Matters Podcast, I wanted to tackle some recurring issues I see all the time regarding NPs and collaborators. NPs often have question topics around collaboration, for example:
- Finding Collaborators
- Determining exactly what they need
- Occasionally, wanting to find a way to side-step a collaborator
- Trying to figure out what to do if they suddenly lose their collaborator
- and more.
In this episode, I explore when and why you might need collaboration, and finding a collaborator, including a discussion about using the collaborator finder services (and their pros and cons), what to do once you have found someone, and what needs to be in your agreement.
Listen in to this episode, take a look at the resources, and then share your experience below.
