Reimbursement directly affects nurses in various ways:
- Compensation: Adequate reimbursement ensures that nurses are fairly compensated for their work, which is crucial for job satisfaction and retention. - Resources: Facilities rely on reimbursement to fund essential resources, including medical supplies, advanced technologies, and continuing education for staff. - Patient Care: Different reimbursement models can impact the nature and quality of patient care. For example, value-based care models encourage a focus on patient outcomes, which can lead to better patient experiences and overall health.
