Physician-nurse collaboration: a nurse's perspective.
An epidemiologic follow-up study of aircrewmen with asymptomatic exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia was recently conducted by a physician-nurse team at the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine. Using a general systems framework, this paper presents the nurse's perspective of the collaborative effort. Several system elements--such as input, throughout, output, cycles and feedback--are used to analyze the process of physician-nurse interaction during the course of the collaboration.
