NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB)
February 22, 2022
ThriveAP is proud to announce a new relationship with BJC Healthcare to help nurse practitioners and physician assistants accelerate their clinical practice goals.
ThriveAP is a Nashville-based postgraduate training resource for hospitals, clinics, and other institutions employing Advanced Practice Providers (APPs). ThriveAP’s program will enable BJC’s providers to receive accredited live and online programming, specifically designed to respond to the growing impact of APPs in health care delivery throughout the nation.
Recent studies have identified the need for programs that support the transition from a learning environment to practice in response to the increased complexity of patient care and the projected growth in the employment of APPs. These programs help accelerate the adoption of clinical education to real-world clinical practice and have proven to increase institutions’ productivity, organizational performance, retention, satisfaction, and patient outcomes.
“We are excited to partner with such a highly respected medical institution as BJC Healthcare,” said Chris Poole, CEO of ThriveAP. “Advanced Practice Providers are critical to the successful delivery of care, and employers recognize the need to invest in the development and success of these providers. The ongoing physician shortage and our nation’s shortfalls in delivering care have increased the reliance on APPs, which, in turn, has led to growth in their employment and expansion of their autonomy and responsibility. As a result, employers are increasing their investments in training and education programs to support the importance of these professionals.”
