Background:
A diagnosis of breast carcinoma or atypia is stressful and often life-altering for patients. Institutional goals for all cancer centers include rapid access to oncology care and optimal patient experience. Collaboration among doctorally prepared advanced practice clinicians (APCs) may contribute to enhanced clinical operations and affect patient satisfaction.
Objectives:
The objective was to decrease time between breast biopsy and initial clinician visit by implementing an expedited APC-led visit within days of diagnosis.
Methods:
PhD- and DNP-prepared leaders designed a pilot project in response to delays in scheduling new patient appointments, which was implemented from September 2024 to February 2025. Patients were scheduled with breast oncology APCs prior to seeing oncology surgeons.
Findings:
Patient access metrics highlighted earlier appointment availability with increased uptake in APC visits, breast magnetic resonance imaging, and genetic services. Monthly patient satisfaction scores improved, and qualitative patient feedback noted reduced anxiety as well as gratitude for immediate access to care and navigation.

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.

Characteristics of Practical Op Amps
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...
