- Title
Improving Transitions of Care With an Advanced Practice Nurse: A Pilot Study.
- Authors
Hsueh, Martha Tan-Fu; Dorcy, Kathleen Shannon
- Abstract
Gaps in complex oncology care coordination between inpatient and outpatient settings can result in treatment and monitoring delays and omissions, which can negatively affect patient outcomes. Gaps also exist for patients facing complex treatment modalities and collaborations between multiple care teams working at geographically distant sites. A pilot advanced practice nurse care coordinator (APNCC) role to coordinate these complex care transitions and implement processes for safer and more efficient care has shown promise.
