The vascular access coordinator role: an interview with Donna Carlton by Betsy King
Abstract:
In summary, the access coordinator is at the center of our access program at UAB. The coordinators can make decisions based on the calls we receive from the nursing staff and reports obtained from procedures. The ability to relay information to the entire team rather than simply data entry staff, makes us a central focal area for our access team. This type of model is working to help us achieve better patient outcomes. We provide many services but the most important is follow-up. As a result, we are able to achieve optimal outcomes for our patients.

The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.
