  • A Primary Care Nursing Perspective on Chronic Disease Prevention and Management Cynthia D
    DOI: 10.32481/djph.2017.03.011 A Primary Care Nursing Perspective on Chronic Disease Prevention and Management Cynthia D. Griffin, MS, BSN, RN, CPHQ, CCM Director of Nursing Services EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Today, there is growing interest in advancing health care outcomes through the utilization of registered nurses in ambulatory settings such as primary care facilities. Western medicine exist a longstanding ethos that promulgates the treatment of acute illnesses and injuries, but as the field progresses, so should our focus. There is a need today to focus on and grow the fields of preventative care and chronic disease management.1 In America today we have an aging population. According to the most recent consensus projections, the proportion of the US population aged 65 or older is expected to rise from 12.7 percent to 19.3 percent in 2030.2 As the population continues to age a dramatic growth in demand for health care services will be seen.1 Historically, physicians cared for patients individually in their private practices. Due in large part to their smaller size, many of these physician practices, do not utilize RNs and in where RNs are used their primary role is to triage telephone calls. As we move into the 21st century and demands on healthcare systems, physicians, and accountable care organizations are to meet and manage the health care needs of the communities where they are located in the most optimal way possible.3 This article will explore the importance of the role of the RN in the Primary Care setting and their role in managing and preventing chronic diseases in the population they serve.

The opinion is not legally binding and does not have the force and effect of a duly promulgated regulation or a declaratory ruling by the NCQAC. Institutional policies may restrict practice further in their setting and require different expectations to assure their patients’ safety and decrease risk.

  • American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing
    The Role of the Registered Nurse in Ambulatory Care Position Statement Background Health care is in the midst of unprecedented change. Improving the health of our nation will require reframing our health care system from one that emphasizes acute, episodic, interventional care to one that engages patients and providers together, in health promotion, disease prevention and early intervention. (Bodenheimer, Bauer, Syer, & Olayiwola, 2015). As a result, this enhancement of the Role of the Registered Nurse in Ambulatory Care position statement (AAACN, 2011) reflects current trends and changes to the RN role in response to the changing healthcare environment. Across the continuum of care, ambulatory care registered nurses (RNs) work independently and collaboratively, partnering with patients, caregivers, providers, and other health care professionals in the design and provision of care in an ever expanding array of settings. The context of the ambulatory care environment is complex, rapidly changing, and often difficult to navigate. Care delivery design and implementation is directly influenced by social determinants, environmental factors, and access to care issues that impact the patient’s ability to adhere to a prescribed plan of care and obtain needed services (Fraher, Spetz & Naylor, 2015; Lamb, 2014; Smolowitz, et. al., 2014). Concurrently, health care is rapidly evolving to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse and aging population. At the same time health care costs are driving value-based reimbursement and innovative models of care. Ambulatory care RNs are well-prepared to assume an expanded role in the design and delivery of high quality care, defying traditional boundaries, and working in redefined interprofessional relationships, expanded community partnerships, and non-traditional health care settings.

    Telehealth Nursing Practice Special Interest Group A Telehealth Manager’s Toolkit Editors: Rocquel Crawley, MBA, BSN, RNC-OB, NEA-BC and Pam Kuchta, MBA, BSN, RNC Introduction R. Crawley, MBA, BSN, RNC-OB, NEA-BC & P. Kuchta, MBA, BSN, RNC-TNP 2011-2012 AAACN TNP SIG Co-Chairs Telehealth is the delivery, management, and coordination of health services that integrate electronic information and telecommunications technologies to increase access, improve outcomes, and contain or reduce costs of health care. Telehealth is an umbrella term used to describe the wide range of services delivered across distances by all health-related disciplines (AAACN, 2011). Telehealth Nursing Practice is the delivery, management, and coordination of care and services provided via telecommunications technology within the domain of ambulatory care nursing. Telehealth nursing is a broad term encompassing practices that incorporate a vast array of telecommunications technologies (e.g., telephone, fax, email, Internet, video monitoring, and interactive videos) to remove time and distance barriers for the delivery of nursing care (Espensen, 2009). Telehealth Nursing Practice (TNP) is recognized as a nursing subspecialty of ambulatory care nursing by the American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing (AAACN). AAACN has worked to formalize the practice of Telehealth Nursing by developing a Telehealth Nursing Practice Core Course (TNPCC), the Scope and Standards of Practice for Professional Telehealth Nursing , the Telehealth Nursing Practice Essentials (TNPE) textbook, competencies, and included a chapter on Telehealth Nursing Practice in the C ore Curriculum for Ambulatory Care Nursing . AAACN also offers a TNP track at their annual conference and includes many Telehealth articles in ViewPoint , AAACN’s bi-monthly newsletter.

The IHS was created in 1954 as part of the Public Health Service when responsibility for American Indian and Alaska Native health care was transferred from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs to the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The goal of the IHS is to raise the health status of American Indians and Alaska Natives to the highest possible level. Since 1955 the average life expectancy for American Indians and Alaska Natives has risen 19%; mortality rate among Indians with tuberculosis has decreased 96%; and infant mortality rates have decreased 85%. These improved health numbers are the result of stronger central program supervision, more qualified staff, and an accelerated public health program, including
