Celebrating Advanced Practice Providers
- Category: Friday from the Field
National PA Week is October 6-12, 2017.
National NP Week is November 12-18, 2017.
Take this time to celebrate ALL of your advanced practice providers. Put together something extra special this year to thank them and show your appreciation. The ideas are limitless! Get creative and show them that you care! Here are a few examples:
- Omelet station or breakfast bar
- Goodie baskets
- 15-minute massages
- Umbrella, t-shirt, or stadium blanket
- Decorated lounge area
- After-hours social
- Oscars awards – with staff nominating/voting
What can you do year-round? Make it a goal to build a meaningful relationship with them. As key decision-makers in the practice, include them in your outreach program. By seeking their input and listening to their feedback, you’ll gain insight on how to add value.
Another best practice is to include your recently hired advanced practice providers in the onboarding process along with new physicians.
