Factors Affecting Turnover of Advanced Practice Providers: A University Teaching Hospital Review.

Goal: Retention of advanced practice providers (APPs) is an issue of critical importance to healthcare leaders. High APP turnover negatively affects an organization's ability to meet patient needs, maintain quality of care, and control costs. Our goal was to identify any association between intent to leave and specific survey factors; analyze the distribution of scale factors from the survey; and describe differences among the APP roles, specialties, and length of employment.
