AANP Research

Meeting Our Mission

The Research program plays a significant role in fulfilling AANP's three-part mission:

To promote excellence in NP practice, education and research, the research program collects data and encourages others to conduct their own research.

To shape the future of health care through advancing policy, the research program provides specific stats and trends critical to the work of our health policy staff and volunteer leaders such as AANP state representatives.

To build a positive image of the NP role as leaders in the national and global health care community, AANP research provides data demonstrating high marks on quality of care, the cost effectiveness of that care, and patient satisfaction and acceptance.
