Significant Federal investments have motivated many community health centers (CHCs) to implement electronic health records (EHRs) in recent years. Because CHCs are known to use flexible and innovative staffing models, their uptake of EHRs creates a unique opportunity to study how new technology intersects with staffing changes to influence care delivery. The goals of the project are to understand how CHCs’ implementation of EHRs has changed staffing models, staff roles, and workflow, and the mechanisms by which EHRs influence staff productivity and coordination between providers and quality of care.

This study examined the nurse-related clinical non-licensed personnel (CNLP) staffing in U.S. hospitals between 2010 and 2014, in terms of their job categories, staffing trends, and relationship with hospital registered nurse (RN) and licensed practical nurse (LPN) staffing. Related Products:

The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is an enhanced model of primary care and has grown substantially over time. Although initially established as a physician-centric model, the model has evolved to emphasize team-based care and in some cases, the development of non-physician-led PCMHs. Currently there are almost 300 nurse-led PCMH practices recognized by the national accreditation body, the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). However, little is known about whether and to what extent nurse-led PCMHs differ from physician-led PMCHs in terms of patient populations they serve, staff composition as well as roles and responsibilities of each team member, and the services they provide.

The purpose of this report was to provide a descriptive analysis of workforce differences between hospitals that participate in some form of an ACO and those that do not. In particular, the study examines whether care coordination activities are higher in ACO hospitals and whether nurse staffing and staffing of care coordination jobs are higher.
