RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Newly graduated nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) benefit from transition-to-practice (TTP) support to move successfully into practice. Transition-to-practice programs (i.e., onboarding programs and fellowships/residencies) hold promise for improving workforce outcomes. PURPOSE: The purpose of this scoping review was to describe the literature regarding NP/PA TTP programs. METHODOLOGY: Using the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology, a specific approach for systematically conducting reviews, publications from January 1990 to May 2022 were included for review if they addressed fellowships/residencies or onboarding programs for NPs or PAs. Final data extraction involved 216 articles. RESULTS: The pace of publication increased over time, with a noticeable increase since 2015. Articles were most commonly about fellowships/residencies, NPs, and programs set in United States nonrural, acute care settings, and academic health centers. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS: There is a gap in our understanding of onboarding programs and programs focusing on PAs, as well as TTP support in rural and primary care settings. In addition, there are few articles that assess TTP program outcomes such as benefits and costs. This review describes the need for more published literature in these areas.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Newly graduated NPs and physician associates/assistants (PAs) benefit from transition to practice (TTP) support to move successfully into practice. TTP programs (such as onboarding programs, fellowships, and residencies) hold promise for improving workforce outcomes. The purpose of this scoping review was to describe the literature regarding NP/PA TTP programs. METHODS: Using the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology, a specific approach for systematically conducting reviews, publications from January 1990 to May 2022 were included if they addressed fellowships, residencies, or onboarding programs for NPs or PAs. Final data extraction involved 216 articles. RESULTS: The pace of publication increased over time, with a noticeable increase since 2015. Articles were most commonly about fellowships or residencies, NPs, and programs set in nonrural, acute care US settings and in academic health centers. CONCLUSIONS: A gap exists in our understanding of onboarding programs and programs focusing on PAs, as well as TTP support in rural and primary care settings. In addition, few articles assess TTP program outcomes such as benefits and costs. This review describes the need for more published literature in these areas.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Many new graduate primary care physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs) can experience stress and difficulty as they transition to practice. Feelings of anxiety and role ambiguity are common and can lead to costly turnover, impact care continuity, and place patients at risk for poor clinical outcomes. Onboarding, the process of helping new hires adjust to social and performance aspects of their new job and has the potential to ease transition to practice for PAs and NPs. Recent research has linked PA/NP onboarding programs to increased engagement, decreased turnover, and higher clinical productivity. PURPOSE: To describe new graduate PA and NP perspectives of onboarding programs they completed in their first primary care position. METHODOLOGY: Thirteen semistructured interviews were conducted with new graduate PAs and NPs who participated in onboarding programs. Interviews were transcribed and then analyzed using an inductive coding methodology. RESULTS: Analyses revealed nine thematic concepts that are described within two frameworks. Structural components include improving competence, training on the electronic health record, promoting mentorship, orienting to organizational dynamics, tailoring ramp-up of patient scheduling, clarifying expectations, and providing clear organizational support. Psychosocial factors include creating comfort and building self-confidence. CONCLUSION: Understanding participants' experiences with onboarding programs is essential for ensuring successful transition to practice for new graduate PAs and NPs. IMPLICATIONS: These findings are beneficial to the health care workforce. Administrators can incorporate these findings into existing and future programs, and new graduate PAs and NPs can negotiate for the inclusion of these components in their first position.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To describe new graduate physician associate/assistant (PA) and NP perspectives of onboarding programs in their first primary care position. METHODS: Thirteen semistructured interviews were conducted with new graduate PAs and NPs who participated in onboarding programs. Interviews were transcribed and then analyzed using an inductive coding methodology. RESULTS: Analyses revealed nine thematic concepts that are described in two frameworks. Structural components are improving competence, training on the electronic health record (EHR), promoting mentorship, orienting to organizational dynamics, tailoring ramp-up of patient scheduling, clarifying expectations, and providing clear organizational support. Psychosocial factors are creating comfort and building self-confidence. DISCUSSION: The results describe and delineate important components for onboarding that administrators can incorporate into existing and future programs. CONCLUSION: Understanding participants' experiences with onboarding programs is essential for ensuring successful transition to practice for new graduate PAs and NPs.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this scoping review is to map the evidence on transition-to-practice programs for newly graduated advanced practice registered nurses and physician assistants, and describe how they differ. Additional objectives include summarizing what outcomes are evaluated and what gaps remain within the literature. By consolidating this information, health care administrators may more easily reference transition-to-practice methods to enhance their own programs for advanced practice registered nurses and physician assistants.z. INTRODUCTION: Transition to practice involves 2 program types: onboarding and postgraduate training. However, no existing reviews describe the state of the literature regarding these program types, and how they compare with regard to location, setting, and outcomes. Because transition-to-practice programs may improve workforce outcomes, understanding how these programs differ, and what gaps exist, is needed to help these programs grow. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This review will include articles describing transition to practice for advanced practice registered nurses and/or physician assistants, including onboarding and fellowship/residency programs. Articles will be included regardless of geographic location if they take place within a professional, clinical setting. METHODS: The scoping review will follow the JBI approach. Databases to be searched include MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, Scopus, and Web of Science. All included manuscripts will be screened by two reviewers and relevant data will be extracted. These data will summarize what transition to practice programs are used, how they differ, and what gaps exist.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: This is the final article in a series that examines the role of onboarding programs for new physician assistants (PAs) and NPs. On-the-job learning is highly relevant for this workforce. Here we examine the strategies organizations use to impart information and skills in onboarding programs. METHODS: In 2018, we interviewed 13 administrators of onboarding programs. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed for themes by a team of researchers, with feedback from interviewees. RESULTS: Seven strategies were identified and are described in this article: Clinical mentoring, personal and professional mentoring, meeting with/shadowing other professionals, checking in by administrators, delivering didactic content, tailoring content or ramp-up, and assessing/ensuring competency. CONCLUSIONS: This article describes commonly used strategies in onboarding programs for PAs and NPs and can provide guidance to those designing their own onboarding programs. The programs we examined relied heavily on mentoring and other strategies appropriate for adult learners. Future work should evaluate the effectiveness of onboarding programs.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Healthcare organizations are interested in creating onboarding programs to assist new PA and NP employees as they transition to practice settings. There is a need for information on what the ideal content and topic areas are for clinics to include in their onboarding programs. METHODS: In 2018, we interviewed 13 administrators of onboarding programs. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed for themes by a team of researchers, with feedback from interviewees. RESULTS: Eight content areas were identified and described in this paper: culture and values; goals and strategies; task proficiency; rules and policies; structure; working relationships; wellness; and navigation and politics. CONCLUSIONS: These common content areas may provide a starting point for organizations designing onboarding programs for their unique organizations.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To describe administrative factors that should be considered when designing an onboarding program for physician assistants (PAs) and NPs. METHODS: Interview study of 13 administrators of onboarding programs. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed for themes by a team of researchers, with feedback from interviewees. RESULTS: Five administrative themes are summarized: goals of onboarding, critical organization factors, organizational fit, designing the program, and costs of onboarding. CONCLUSIONS: Careful planning and administration are essential to the success of onboarding programs. Although onboarding programs must be designed with unique institutional needs in mind, the considerations identified by our project might serve as a useful guide to PA and NP employers in the process of creating an onboarding program.
