The Impact of Independent Chemotherapy Prescribing by Advanced Practice Providers on Patient Safety and Clinician Satisfaction.
Literature on advanced practice providers (APPs) prescribing chemotherapy independently, without physician cosignature, is limited.This project assessed safety and provider satisfaction for an existing independent APP chemotherapy prescribing privilege at a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center.Rate of Reporting to Improve Safety and Quality events associated with APPs with independent chemotherapy prescribing privileges was compared to that of physicians during a three-year period. Satisfaction of APPs with independent chemotherapy prescribing privileges was evaluated.The odds of a reported event were higher for physicians than for APPs. APP survey responses were positive for readiness, confidence, and satisfaction with independent chemotherapy prescribing privilege.
