本研究报告了一项随机研究的2年随访期结果，该研究比较了分配到执业护士或医生初级保健实践的患者的结局。在406名成年人的样本中，两组在健康状况、疾病特异性生理指标、满意度或使用专科、急诊室或住院服务方面没有差异。医生患者平均比护士执业患者更多的初级保健访问。结果与6个月的调查结果一致，并且越来越多的证据表明，执业护士提供的初级保健质量与医生相当。
This study reports results of the 2-yearfollow-up phase of a randomized study comparing outcomes of patients assigned to a nurse practitioner or a physician primary care practice. In the sample of 406 adults, no differences were found between the groups in health status, disease-specific physiologic measures, satisfaction or use of specialist, emergency room or inpatient services. Physician patients averaged more primary care visits than nurse practitioner patients. The results are consistent with the 6-month findings and with a growing body of evidence that the quality of primary care delivered by nurse practitioners is equivalent to that by physicians.
