At the request of the ONS Board of Directors, a survey was conducted to determine the degree to which oncology nurses performed services listed in the Physicians Current Procedural Terminology manual--services for which physicians are reimbursed. Using a format modeled on a similar study of nurses in general, 100 randomly selected ONS members were asked to describe the degree to which they performed a list of 90 coded procedures compiled by four oncology nurse experts. Response rate was 43%. Respondents, who were representative of the ONS membership on all demographic variables except education, performed an average of 32 of the procedures with very little, if any, direct physician supervision. Study results reflect trends found among nurses in general and raise important questions about patterns of reimbursement and healthcare delivery.
应肿瘤护理学会董事会的要求，开展了一项调查，以确定肿瘤护理人员执行《医师现行操作术语》手册中所列服务的程度，这些服务是医师可获得报销的。采用与一项针对普通护士的类似研究相同的形式，随机挑选了100名肿瘤护理学会成员，要求他们描述执行由4名肿瘤护理专家编制的90项编码程序清单的程度。回复率为43%。除教育程度外，在所有人口统计学变量方面，这些受访者都代表了肿瘤护理学会的成员情况，他们平均执行了32项程序，几乎没有（如果有的话）直接的医师监督。研究结果反映了普通护士中发现的趋势，并提出了有关报销模式和医疗服务提供的重要问题。
