To describe nurse practitioner (NP) roles in medical rehabilitation settings.
Description of practice by rehabilitation NPs and physicians.
NPs increasingly function in medical rehabilitation settings as independent or collaborative care providers. This article describes their roles at a large rehabilitation institute in acute care consultation/liaison, acute rehabilitation, and ambulatory settings. The organization has experienced greater physician efficiency and practice scope, without erosion of subjective or objective quality measures and outcomes. The authors provide specific examples of NP roles in intrathecal baclofen and cancer rehabilitation programs.
Advanced practice nurses can provide efficacious care to people with disabilities, resulting in cost savings, improved outcomes, and high value. Patient care by NPs is beneficial for the physicians so that they may extend their clinical realm, spend more time doing research, and participate in medical leadership.
描述执业护士（NP）在医疗康复环境中的角色。
康复NP和医生对实践的描述。
NP在医疗康复环境中越来越多地作为独立或协作护理提供者发挥作用。本文描述了他们在一家大型康复机构中在急性护理咨询/联络、急性康复和门诊环境中的角色。该机构在提高医生效率和扩大实践范围的同时，主观和客观质量指标及结果并未受到影响。作者提供了NP在鞘内注射巴氯芬和癌症康复项目中角色的具体例子。
高级实践护士可为残疾人提供有效的护理，从而节省成本、改善结果并具有高价值。NP提供的患者护理对医生有益，使他们能够扩展临床领域、花更多时间进行研究并参与医疗领导工作。
