Abstract:
Optimal, cost-effective patient care requires the integration of research findings into practice and a continuing assessment of outcomes attained, which cannot be achieved unless care is continuous and multidisciplinary. Well-defined requirements for the education of an advanced practice nurse results in quality and effective wound-care delivery in a cost-effective fashion. The concerns of business and health must be blended to achieve optimal patient care.
