Reduced risk of complex response: an invisible outcome.
Reduced risk of complex response is proposed as a category of outcomes sensitive to the effects of advanced practice nursing. Processes of risk assessment and risk management are described. The goals are to identify complex responses whose occurrence is high in human and/or economic costs, to assess factors associated with these complex responses, to provide good information to support interventions that reflect the values of the discipline, and to make the effectiveness of advance practice registered nurses visible.
