increasing access to care

How Can Policy Changes Improve Access to Care?

Policymakers can implement several changes to improve access to care:
Expanding Scope of Practice: Allowing nurse practitioners and other advanced practice nurses to practice independently can increase the availability of primary care providers.
Funding for Telehealth: Increasing funding for telehealth infrastructure can support remote consultations and reduce barriers for patients in remote areas.
Support for Nursing Education: Investing in nursing education programs can help address workforce shortages by training more nurses to meet the growing demand for healthcare services.
