Abstract:
The development of chronic diseases and the aging of the population are increasing the demand for specialized nursing care in both outpatient and inpatient services. In 2019, the Sarine outpatient care service introduced a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) to support the teams and management in systematically analyzing clinical practice. In some nursing homes, the INTERCARE model, developed by Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs), has been implemented. With specially trained nurses, this model has reduced unplanned hospitalizations and increased staff satisfaction. Advanced Nursing Practice (ANP) can add value to the Swiss healthcare system by meeting the rising demands in community health.
