EMRA always says what everyone is thinking @nmpra @maxabillioncruz thoughts?
Totally agree interesting how corporate healthcare has emphasized the word “provider”. words do matter. I think the idea is to have the general public perceive equivalency so when cost cutting measures happen rest assured you are still under a “providers” care, whoever that is.
Exactly. Patients deserve to know who is the person assessing their seizure, broken leg, car accident, psychoticbreak. Emergency medicine isn’t a clinic and the fact that it’s already out of network makes it appealing to “providers” of all sorts. I want a MD.
Just to clarify, this is about provider scope of practice where the lines may otherwise blur (e.g., NPs and PAs)? Versus, for example, pharmacy residencies, research fellowships, or administrative fellowships.
With all the other challenges facing *all providers* in healthcare these days, not feeling the need to "battle" another clinician. Venture capital, big pharma, and Insurance concern me more than a f_&+ng resident PA
Diverse perspectives lead to better outcomes

But quotes can be harmful i.e. when we use them against our pts in the EHR & esp when they change the meaning
”...battle on scope of practice” is NOT equivalent to battling another clinician

Damn right! I have started crossing out provider on every form I sign and refuse to be addressed as provider unless they wanna be addressed “paper pusher”
A trend by medical agencies to use terms prescriber/provider, seems harmless at first, but arguably a targeted method of obscuring the hierarchy of training/expertise, confusing the public, and quietly removing MDs as the captains of the health care team as a cost-cutting measure
Can you explain for someone outside the medical field why it matters if MDs are in charge?
