title: Establishing a nurse-managed health center: interacting with regulatory, professional, and fiscal environments.
abstract: In establishing a nurse-managed health center, one must be cognizant of legal and regulatory issues that could impact on the practice. The ability to negotiate outside services, such as laboratory and medical consultation, is important. Additionally, as an integral component of financial viability, attainment of third-party reimbursement should be considered.
