Abstract:
An orthopedic clinical nurse specialist facilitated an interdisciplinary evaluation, design, and implementation of best practice initiatives for the total knee replacement patient population using the Center for Advanced Nursing Practice's Evidence-Based Practice Model. The interdisciplinary team approach enhanced the total joint program by achieving positive patient outcomes, demonstrating financial stewardship of resources, and facilitating inter- and intradisciplinary communication.
