Abstract:
Many of the changes in health care delivery systems have had detrimental effects on nurses; however, some of these same changes are providing opportunities for acute care advanced practice nurses. Advanced practice nurses ensure continuity of care, manage use of resources, and coordinate patient services, which often results in cost savings. This article describes how advanced practice nurses in the department of surgery at Memorial Health Care, Worcester, Mass, are caring for surgical patients with acute and chronic conditions.
