Nurse Practitioner and Physician Collaboration in the Long-Term Care Setting: Secondary Analysis of a Scoping Review.

Objective: Over the past decade, the role of nurse practitioners (NPs) in long-term care home (LTCH) settings has significantly expanded. Despite this trend, gaps have been identified in the description of collaborative practices between NPs and physicians in the LTCH sector. This study aimed to characterize the elements of collaboration between NPs and physicians in LTCH settings by applying the "Structured Collaborative Practice Core Model.

Distinct catecholaminergic pathways projecting to hippocampal CA1 transmit contrasting signals during navigation in familiar and novel environments.

Neuromodulatory inputs to the hippocampus play pivotal roles in modulating synaptic plasticity, shaping neuronal activity, and influencing learning and memory. Recently, it has been shown that the main sources of catecholamines to the hippocampus, ventral tegmental area (VTA) and locus coeruleus (LC), may have overlapping release of neurotransmitters and effects on the hippocampus. Therefore, to dissect the impacts of both VTA and LC circuits on hippocampal function, a thorough examination of how these pathways might differentially operate during behavior and learning is necessary.

Developing a comprehensive curriculum program for nurse practitioners delivering primary care in the long-term care setting.

In the Long-Term Care (LTC) setting, comprehensive primary care is often provided by Nurse Practitioners (NPs). NPs are uniquely positioned to meet the evolving primary care needs of LTC residents. However, caring for this population requires additional education and training due to its special considerations.

What Do We Know About Nurse Practitioner/Physician Care Models in Long-Term Care: Results of a Scoping Review.

Objectives: Due to the rise of the nurse practitioner (NP) role in long-term care settings, it is important to understand the underlying structures and processes that influence NP and physician care models. This scoping review aims to answer the question, "What are the structures, processes, and outcomes of care models involving NPs and physicians in long-term care (LTC) homes?" A secondary aim was to describe the structural enablers and barriers across care models.

Research Design And Methods: Seven databases were searched.
