To address the deficit of specialty palliative care clinicians, the integration of advanced practice clinicians (APCs) alongside physicians is a critical workforce shortage solution. However, a gap exists in the standardized methods for evaluation of patient satisfaction with APCs in this setting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This paper evaluates the existing instruments measuring patient satisfaction with APCs to highlight the current gap in palliative care-specific tools and assess their potential for adaptation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To identify appropriate instruments focused on patient satisfaction with APCs a literature review was completed searching for instruments pertaining to patient experience and satisfaction with APCs. Three relevant instruments were identified: the Nurse Practitioner Satisfaction Survey (NPSS), the Art of Medicine Survey, and Patient Satisfaction Survey with Physician Assistants in a Fast Track Emergency Department.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of these, only the NPSS underwent formal psychometric testing, demonstrating both validity and internal consistency.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The review identified a paradox in which the validated instrument, NPSS, was utilized much less than the non-validated Art of Medicine survey. This review also highlights a significant gap in validated and reliable instruments to measure patient satisfaction with APCs, particularly in the palliative care context. There is a critical need to develop or adapt a psychometrically sound instrument for the palliative care patient population to ensure high-quality, patient-centered care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10499091261498818","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,14]],"date-time":"2026-10-14T23:28:55Z","timestamp":1792020535000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Measuring Patient Satisfaction With Advanced Practice Clinicians: Identifying a Critical Gap in Palliative Care Measurement Instruments"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2970-7910","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ryan","family":"Baldeo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Graduate Studies, University of Maryland Baltimore"},{"name":"Palliative Care Center of Excellence, Division of Primary Care and Population Health, Department of Medicine, Stanford Health Care"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-019-7762-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","volume-title":"Clinical Practice Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care","author":"National Coalition for Hospice and Palliative Care","year":"2018","unstructured":"National Coalition for Hospice and Palliative Care.
