title: The innovative personality.
abstract: Health care is changing rapidly. It is incumbent upon the advanced practice nurse (APN) to discern the signposts of this change and sit at the table where the new script is being written. Newer models of community-based primary care delivery demand a broader approach to delivering health services and call the APN to be at the center of this change, leading partners and patients into a more effective and consumer-focused health system.
