Developing a charging system for a nursing specialty: ET nursing.
Because of limited resources and economic constraints, justifying the existence of ET nurses has become an economic challenge for hospitals and nurses. To justify the role of the ET nurse, a charging system for enterostomal therapy was developed at a corporate, for-profit hospital. Three months after implementation, an evaluation of the system demonstrated that revenue was generated in excess of the ET nurse's salary.
