Public health nursing--with its focus on compassionate, holistic
care and service to the poor, the aged, those suffering from social
injustice, and those without adequate health facilities--had its
origins over a century ago with the founding of the Henry Street
Settlement in New York City. Embracing the same foundational
principles, Nurse-Led Health Clinics is the first book to describe
innovative, nurse-managed solutions for improving health care
today. It addresses the key business, policy, medical, financial,
and operational considerations necessary for successfully opening
and operating nurse-led health facilities. With the mission to
dramatically expand access to primary and preventative health care,
these clinics provide a full range of services, including primary
care, health promotion, disease prevention, and behavioural health
care to residents of underserved communities throughout the U.S.
The book delivers a wealth of comprehensive information for nurses
who are considering opening their own clinics. Reinforced with
best-practice models and case studies, it takes a concrete look at
what it takes to successfully start and run a nurse-managed health
center. The book addresses the history and growth of nurse-led
clinics and describes the nurse-led paradigm of care. It identifies
the different types of nurse-led clinics (primary care, school
based, wellness clinics, and more) and the clinical services
offered within them. Also discussed are the requirements and
mind-set of potential consumers and strategies for sustainability
along with the role of the collaborative team. The pros and cons of
a variety of business and operations models are examined along with
quality metrics and initiatives. The book also covers various state
and federal policy challenges and opportunities and explores the
future of nurse-led care in view of ongoing health care reform.
Helpful appendices include a start-up checklist, sample by-laws and
a managed care contracting toolkit. Key Features: Describes key
business, policy, medical, financial, and operational
