“…The phrase "first do no harm" (in Latin, primum non nocere) is attributed to Hippocrates, a Greek physician born in 460 BC, who is referred to as the Father of Modern Medicine (Suvajdzic et al, 2016). The concept of safety is fundamental to the ethics of medical treatment in the western world and has persisted for approximately 2,500 years.…”

Background: There is an increasing demand for high-quality primary care providers without adequate supply to meet the need. Nurse practitioners (NPs) are uniquely positioned to fill this demand but influence on regulatory practice authority from concerned groups regarding patient safety and quality of care has delayed this as an effective solution.Objectives: The objective was to address concerns abovt NP-led care by examining evidence regarding patient safety, clinical outcomes, cost, and patient satisfaction that reflect on the ability of NPs to provide high-quality care within the primary care setting and to compare their ability with standard models of care led by physicians.Data sources: A systematic review was completed using PubMed, CINHAL Complete, and Scopus. Using PRISMA guidelines to critique literature and the John's Hopkins Research Evidence Appraisal tool, articles were analyzed comparing the quality of care between NP and physician providers in the primary care setting.Conclusions: A total of 11 articles met the criteria and reveal that NPs provide equal or better quality of care for all outcomes outcomes when compared with their physician colleagues.Implications for practice: Quality patient care provided by NPs in the primary care setting is equal to, and in several cases superior to, that of physicians. Concerns for patient safety and quality care outcomes seem unsupported by data, and state legislatures should continue to grant full practice authority. as an effective source of providing highquality primary health care.

Purpose Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician, is considered the father of Medicine; however, his contributions to Orthopaedics and Traumatology have not been highlighted enough. The present historical review represents an effort to present and categorize his work, in this field, per clinical disorder and anatomical region. Methods The “Hippocratic Corpus” original text was thoroughly studied to identify all Hippocrates’ contributions in Orthopaedics and Traumatology. Volume III of his works, especially “On Fractures”, “On Joints”, and “Mochlicon” includes a plethora of information regarding the management of traumas, as well as other disorders and clinical entities of the musculoskeletal system. Results In particular, Hippocrates describes reduction techniques for fractures, as well as joint dislocations, elaborates on the biology of the fractures’ healing process and the basic principles of fracture management and fixation, presents the signs and symptoms of gangrene, teaches the treatment of osseous infections and offers valuable insight on the biomechanics and treatment of spinal diseases. Conclusions Hippocrates’ contributions in Orthopaedics and Traumatology are unprecedented, making him a true pioneer in this field, while the basic principles that he presented were further studied and confirmed in the 19th and 20th centuries.

“…Certainly, since the origin of medicine in the hallowed halls of the Hippocratic Medical School of Kos roughly 400 BCE, principles of the physician, such as "primum non nocere" (first do no harm), and "the best physician is the one who is able to prevent and predict," were well documented by Hippocrates and his descendants [1][2][3]. One of many profound and revolutionary statements made by Hippocrates was the duty for medical practitioners to "teach his/her family the art of medicine, if they want to learn it, without tuition or any other conditions of service" [4].…”

“…One of many profound and revolutionary statements made by Hippocrates was the duty for medical practitioners to "teach his/her family the art of medicine, if they want to learn it, without tuition or any other conditions of service" [4]. In the ancient Kosian community where Hippocrates practiced the art of medicine, he was bound by a code of ethics that was gradually shared with people around the world giving rise to modern medicine [2].…”

Raising the discussion to participate in the evolution of a healthcare system that reflects the complexity and diversity of the modern integrated healthcare system in alignment with the community is well-documented. However, in this precarious hierarchical environment, there are necessary areas for improvement with respect to progressing the medical professional and key stakeholders beyond a paternalistic or traditional-minded practice. Integral to a synergy that will fuel the U.S. and global healthcare markets, this article aims to raise awareness for the audience through evidence-based materials about a paradigm shift in the operative definition of healthcare providers (ie clinical doctors) that has evolved to embrace four instrumental degrees within their respective fields of expertise, the MD, DO, DMSc (PA), and DNP (NP). Essential systematic changes serve to create parity amongst the aforementioned healthcare providers to maximize workplace diversification, inclusion, collaborative care, and professional satisfaction. All of which may translate to improved team dynamics, offset social determinants of health, and ultimately provide greater access to innovative and affordable quality care.
