Use of physician-hired nurses. A survey.
The results of a survey conducted on the practice of using physician-hired nurses in hospitals are reported. Nursing administrators need information on the nursing services that are being provided in direct association with the medical practice of physicians, particularly when those services influence the quality and cost-effectiveness of patient care. The information can be used to plan more effective approaches to the delivery of nursing health care services.
