As the population ages, the corresponding rise in people living with life-limiting illnesses will lead to a greater need for clinician experts in palliative medicine. There are not enough physicians available to care for the growing number of patients, however. We believe that nurse practitioners are well positioned to meet this demand. In this paper, we will use the concept of disruptive innovations to provide support for our belief that nurse practitioners can, and should, take a larger role in palliative medicine. First, we will describe how 2 general types of business models-solution shops and value-adding processes-can be applied to health care in general and palliative medicine specifically. Second, we will describe the concept of disruptive innovations. Finally, we will use these business models to explain how nurse practitioners are particularly well suited to disrupt the current business model of palliative medicine, thereby allowing more patients with life-limiting illness to receive the high-quality care they need. |
