The Power Of Nurses In Primary And Ambulatory Care

Course overview

In anticipation of the Affordable Care Act¿s sweeping changes, hospitals began moving some patient care services to outpatient settings as early as 2010, and that trend is expected to accelerate. Currently, 60% of the care provided by hospitals is inpatient and 40% is ambulatory. Experts predict those percentages will be reversed within five years. In this webinar, participants will learn how a great number of nurses will likewise shift from the hospital to medical specialty offices, outpatient surgical centers, stand-alone emergency departments and other community settings, where many will take on leadership roles.
