Collaborating Docs had a great time at the BHT Conference this week!

It was a full few days of meeting partners, catching up with familiar faces, and having meaningful conversations about where healthcare collaboration is headed.

Huge shoutout to Tavi Schlueter, CPNP, PMHS, our Strategic Partnerships & Growth Manager, and Patrick Burke, our Enterprise Advisor, for representing Collaborating Docs and connecting with so many leaders in the space.

Our team’s growth over the past year has opened the door to partnerships like these, and we’re excited for what’s ahead.

Were you there? What stood out to you at BHT this year?

At Collaborating Docs, we’re dedicated to helping NPs practice at the top of their license, expand access, and strengthen care delivery in communities that need it most.

We’re proud to see this important conversation getting the attention it deserves.

If you’ve poured your heart, soul, and savings into your medical practice and the waiting room is still empty, you might be wondering if it’s time to call it quits. But before you do, we want to share three last-ditch strategies that could completely turn things around for you.

These are the kinds of moves that have rescued practices on the brink—and they might just save yours too.

Tip #1: Narrow your offer to one irresistible service.

Tip #2: Leverage partnerships instead of ads.

Tip #3: Make a time-sensitive offer that drives action.

Here’s the truth: you might be just one bold move away from saving your practice. Before you shut your doors, try these three strategies—you’ve worked too hard to give up without taking one last big swing.

Credentialing is a cornerstone of professional practice for Nurse Practitioners (NPs).

The credentialing process involves several stages, each of which plays a vital role in verifying your qualifications and suitability as a provider.

Each step of the process is designed to ensure you meet the stringent requirements set forth by regulatory bodies, employers, and payers.

While the process is often complex, understanding each component can help nurse practitioners navigate it with confidence.

Every November, Nurse Practitioner Week is a formal recognition period for nurse practitioners’ (NPs) contributions to healthcare delivery across the United States.

For many, it’s an opportunity to pause and appreciate clinical colleagues. However, for those of us immersed in healthcare’s structural and operational aspects, NP Week must be regarded as something more consequential. It offers a valuable opportunity for institutional reflection, public education, and strategic advocacy.

NPs have emerged as clinical providers and leaders, researchers, educators, and policy contributors. It demands that we use NP Week as a tool to advance the profession’s visibility, equity, and alignment with national health priorities. When leveraged thoughtfully, this week becomes a platform for measurable impact across healthcare settings.

Building a strong patient base starts with genuine connection and collaboration.

Begin by identifying the right medical practices in your community and creating your own referral network: spend time getting to know your providers, building trust, and following up regularly.

These small, consistent actions can make a big difference in attracting new patients and strengthening your local network.
