title: New models, new roles.
abstract: The rules are changing radically for organizations. More horizontal definitions of relationship call for more collegial approaches to building structure in health service organizations. Advanced practice nurses must facilitate this dialogue if their role is to unfold in a way that makes use of the full range of their skills and positions them well in providing primary services for the future.
