Ambulatory care nursing
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Ambulatory care nursing is the nursing care of patients who receive treatment on an outpatient basis, ie they do not require admission to a hospital for an overnight stay.[1] The setting can vary widely, from hospital-based clinics to patient homes.[2]
Contact with patients in ambulatory care is often relatively brief, and in the context of a high volume of patients. Nurses in this setting require sound assessment skills and the ability to guide patients in making informed health choices.[3]
Quality ambulatory care nursing has been associated with fewer emergency room visits, hospital visits and readmissions.[4]
