Summary
Implementing expedited advanced practice clinician (APC) visits for breast cancer patients significantly reduced wait times and improved patient satisfaction. This approach enhances early access to oncology care and diagnostic services.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Clinical Operations
- Patient Experience
Background:
- Breast cancer diagnosis causes significant patient stress.
- Cancer centers aim for rapid oncology care access and optimal patient experience.
- Doctorally prepared advanced practice clinicians (APCs) can improve operations and patient satisfaction.
Purpose of the Study:
- To decrease the time between breast biopsy diagnosis and the initial clinician visit.
- To implement an expedited APC-led visit within days of diagnosis for breast cancer patients.
Main Methods:
- A pilot project was designed by PhD- and DNP-prepared leaders.
- The project addressed delays in new patient appointment scheduling.
- Patients were scheduled with breast oncology APCs before seeing surgeons.
Main Results:
- Earlier appointment availability was observed.
- Uptake of APC visits, breast MRI, and genetic services increased.
- Patient satisfaction scores improved, with reduced anxiety and gratitude for immediate care.
Conclusions:
- Expedited APC-led visits improve patient access to breast oncology care.
- This model enhances patient experience by reducing anxiety and wait times.
- Collaboration with APCs is effective in optimizing clinical operations and patient satisfaction.

02:18Fischer Projections
16.6K
Learning to draw Fischer projections of molecules and understanding their relevance plays a crucial role in the visual depiction of organic molecules. A Fischer projection is a two-dimensional projection on a planar surface to simplify the three-dimensional wedge–dash representation of molecules. This is especially helpful in the case of molecules with multiple chiral centers that can be difficult to draw. Here, all the bonds of interest are represented as horizontal or vertical lines. While...

Different notations are used to represent the three-dimensional structure of molecules on two-dimensional surfaces. One of the most commonly used representations is the dash-wedge formula. The dashed wedges, solid wedges, and the plane lines indicate the groups situated behind the plane, coming out of the plane, and in the plane, respectively.

Coordinates and map projections are essential tools in accurately representing the Earth's surface for various applications, ranging from navigation to spatial analysis. The latitude and longitude coordinate system is a universally recognized framework for defining locations. Latitude specifies the distance of a point north or south of the equator, measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude indicates a location's position east or west of the prime meridian,...

01:16Characteristics of Practical Op Amps
870
A difference amplifier, a crucial component in numerous electronic devices, ideally amplifies only the difference-mode signal, which is the difference between two input signals. However, in practical circuits, the output voltage depends on both the differential gain and the common-mode gain.
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...
