Administrative issues in ambulatory oncology care.
The major priority of the ambulatory care nurse administrator is to negotiate the role changes that have occurred in ambulatory care and allow nurses to practice developed skills and collaborate with other health care professionals. Defining the scope of practice, developing standards of care, staffing requirements, budgeting, and developing a quality assurance program are major responsibilities of the ambulatory nurse administrator.
