Abstract :

Seldom do Nurse Practitioners realize that the successful integration of NP�s in the health care delivery system in the United States has not gone unnoticed. The use of NP�s to improve access to care and improve outcomes has begun to be adopted by several countries around the world. Canada, Holland, Great Brittan Australia as well as several Asian countries have adopted the use on NP�s in the health care system. The degree of adoption varies widely in training, practice opportunities and regulatory requirements. This session/poster will provide an overview of the development, status of growth, educational requirements and practice patterns of NPs in a wide range of global communities. The potential benefits of global standards will be addressed to facilitate international initiatives that currently allude nurse practitioners.
