ENCORE: Why the Physician–APP Model Isn’t Delivering and How to Fix It

About this episode

The episode discusses the underperformance of traditional physician-APP models and explores potential redesigns for better outcomes.

Advanced practice providers are a growing part of the healthcare workforce, but many organizations aren’t necessarily seeing the productivity gains they expected. On today’s episode, we examine new Kaufman Hall insights on why traditional physician-APP models often underperform, and how redesigning team roles, incentives, and compensation could yield better outcomes for clinicians and patients alike. Bonnie Proulx, DNP, APRN, PNP-BC, FAAN, Senior Vice President with Kaufman Hall and a member of the firm’s Physician Enterprise practice, joins the podcast to explain more.     You can read Bonnie’s blog post  here .      This interview first aired on Monday, January 26, 2026.     Hosted on Acast.
