Embracing the same foundational principles, \u003ci\u003eNurse-Led Health Clinics\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to describe innovative, nurse-managed solutions for improving health care today. It addresses the key business, policy, medical, financial, and operational considerations necessary for successfully opening and operating nurse-led health facilities. With the mission to dramatically expand access to primary and preventive health care, these clinics provide a full range of services—including primary care, health promotion, disease prevention, and behavioral health care—to residents of underserved communities throughout the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book delivers a wealth of comprehensive information for nurses who are considering opening their own clinics. Reinforced with best-practice models and case studies, it discusses what it takes to successfully start and run a nurse-managed health center. The book addresses the history and growth of nurse-led clinics and describes the nurse-led paradigm of care. It identifies the different types of nurse-led clinics (primary care, school based, wellness, and more) and the clinical services offered within them. Also discussed are the requirements and mind-set of potential consumers and strategies for sustainability along with the role of the collaborative team. The pros and cons of a variety of business and operations models are examined along with quality metrics and initiatives. The book also covers various state and federal policy challenges and opportunities and explores the future of nurse-led care in view of ongoing health care reform. Helpful appendices include a start-up checklist, sample bylaws, and a managed-care contracting toolkit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKEY FEATURES:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes key business, policy, medical, financial, and operational considerations for running a nurse-managed health center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses the pros and cons of a variety of business models for nurse-led care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentifies the most common clinical services offered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents quality metrics, best-practice models, and case studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes state and federal policy and regulatory challenges and opportunities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124500054256,"sku":"9780826128034","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780826128034_p0.jpg?v=1763756600","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780826128034","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
