- Abstract
This study qualitatively examines the environmental and organizational context driving the implementation of advanced practice providers (APPs) in hospital medicine at UPMC. We utilized a comparison case study methodology, including field observation and semi-structured interviews at two hospital medicine programs. We identified three distinct models of APPs in hospital medicine, including the Team Approach, Divide and Conquer, and a Hybrid model, and linked the evolution of these models to contextual factors. Our findings present unique insight into the roles of APPs on UPMC hospital medicine teams. We show that environmental pressures, organizational initiatives, and clinician experience can influence APP roles.
