Gerontological nurse practitioners have proved to be of immense value to patient care in a moderate sized (124-bed), busy (100 percent capacity), long-term care facility. A program that was established to handle a staffing problem with financial constraints has worked very well in providing extended medical services to a demanding patient load. GNPs have successfully been integrated into the facility with wide acceptance by the hospital staff and the clinic physicians to whom the facility's patients are referred when needed.
事实证明,老年病学执业护士对一家中等规模(124张床位)、繁忙(床位使用率100%)的长期护理机构的患者护理具有巨大价值。为在资金有限的情况下解决人员配备问题而设立的一个项目,在为大量有需求的患者提供长期医疗服务方面运作良好。老年病学执业护士已成功融入该机构,受到医院工作人员和诊所医生的广泛认可,该机构的患者在需要时会被转介到这些诊所。
