Advanced Practice Provider Leadership Development Resources Program.

The Importance of APP Leadership

Oncology clinicians are in high demand and APP Leaders Are the Key to the Future

Advanced practice providers represent one of the fastest-growing workforces in healthcare, with a growth rate projected at 45% from 2020 through 2030. Although the number of APPs specializing in oncology is only a small percentage of the total APP universe, there is still high demand for experienced workers. The projected shortage of oncologists is adding fuel to the fire as many oncology APPs are being asked to step up their role to help overcome the shortage of physicians. 

Healthcare organizations are realizing that having a well-defined APP leadership structure can produce positive results on organizational performance with regard to patient care and revenue management. The evolution of APP leadership positions at every level is not only beneficial to the organization, but also critical to maintaining positive patient outcomes. This is especially true as a greater number of hospitals and health systems transition to a value-based care model.
