[Nursing news in senology: creation of an ambulatory nursing clinic].
The IEO has starded an outpatient senology clinic conducted by nurses, and inspired by the successful experience of a similar clinic at the Gustave Roussy Institute of Paris. The purpose of the clinic is to expedite a series of procedures best carried out prior to hospital admission. First, the patient presents for the selection and examination of pre admission tests, following which the standard examinations related to the admission are programmed; the results are then examined, and the clinical record prepared for consignment to the Division the day before admission. The service began in April 1998 and has already received 750 patients.
