Chest pain management: linking tertiary and rural settings.
The Center for Advanced Nursing Practice Evidence-Based Model was the catalyst and driving force that guided the application of evidence-based practice across boundaries of tertiary health care settings to rural health care settings. The intent of this effort was to enhance knowledge and to streamline practice for the management of patients with chest pain. The model successfully supported practice changes and improved outcome management for this aggregate population.
