Research program development in a tertiary care setting.
The Committee on Clinical Nursing Research was established in April 1979 at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, not only to encourage clinical nursing research for the provision of optimal care and the development and evaluation of nursing practice, but also to monitor consumer safety vis-à-vis the research effort. The development of the committee and relevant issues are discussed.
