A randomised controlled trial evaluating outcomes of emergency nurse practitioner service
Description
The emergency nurse practitioner role was developed as an innovative and cost effective approach to meet increasing patient demand for health care. This thesis is the first contemporary study to evaluate clinical outcomes of the role within a complex systems-intervention framework. Emergency nurse practitioner service effectiveness was demonstrated through superior performance in delivery of timely analgesia for emergency department patients. The results validate nurse practitioner service as being able to demonstrate comparable outcomes. This research provides a much-needed evidence base supporting nurse practitioner service and its role in the changing health system and the reform agenda for service innovation.
Impact and interest:

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
