Insights
The interprofessional nurse-physician model improves chronic hepatitis B (CHB) management through collaboration and patient-centered care. This approach enhances patient education, adherence, and outcomes, though communication and technology integration need further development.
Area of Science:
- Hepatology
- Public Health
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) affects over 70 million people globally, posing significant public health challenges, especially in China.
- Outpatient management of CHB is complex due to the disease's chronic nature, long-term follow-up needs, and diverse patient populations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the application, benefits, and limitations of the interprofessional nurse-physician model in managing CHB.
- To synthesize recent literature and case studies on this collaborative care model.
Main Methods:
- Literature review and case study synthesis.
- Evaluation of the interprofessional nurse-physician model's impact on CHB management.
Main Results:
- The nurse-physician model demonstrates enhanced health education, improved treatment adherence, and better patient outcomes in CHB care.
- Identified areas for improvement include interprofessional communication, reducing health disparities, and integrating advanced technologies.
Conclusions:
- The interprofessional nurse-physician model offers a promising strategy for optimizing CHB management.
- Further refinement is needed to enhance collaboration, address disparities, and leverage technology for improved patient well-being.
Abstract:
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains a significant global public health challenge, particularly in China, where it affects over 70 million individuals. The outpatient management of CHB patients is complex due to the chronic nature of the disease, the requirement for long-term follow-up, and the socioeconomic and cultural diversity of patients. The interprofessional nurse-physician model has emerged as a promising strategy to address these challenges by fostering interprofessional collaboration, leveraging technology, and delivering patient-centered care. This review synthesizes recent literature and case studies to evaluate the application, benefits, and limitations of this model in CHB management. Findings indicate enhanced health education, treatment adherence, and patient outcomes. However, further improvements are required in interprofessional communication, reducing health disparities, and integrating advanced technologies. This review provides both theoretical insights and practical recommendations to optimize the nurse-physician model for improving CHB patient well-being.
