Chronic care conditions are a big part of working in primary care, but they’re also complex, time-consuming, and stressful to treat, especially for new nurse practitioners. 

So this week, we’re going to do a walkthrough of how you can conduct these visits, but in a way that that feels timely, organized, and safe!

In this video, I touch on the 4 most important steps to take in each chronic care visit:

✅ Reconciling medications

✅ Assessing the status of their condition

✅ Identifying the red flags for the most common chronic care conditions in primary care

✅ Determining the extent of specialist care

Still feeling overwhelmed by chronic care visits? I've got you covered. We have a new chronic care course that helps you get oriented with the most common chronic conditions you see in primary care: diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
