regional health care

Nurse practitioners (NPs) have demonstrated improved outcomes for patients with chronic heart failure (HF). In regional Australia, cardiac NPs have been introduced to improve chronic disease management, primarily medication titration, for patients with HF, aiming to achieve best practice standards of care. Evaluative research methods including a comparative cost analysis of the NP HF clinic and usual care were used. This research is unique in contributing to the growing body of research demonstrating the value of NP-led clinics for regional areas where attracting and retaining experienced health professionals is challenging.
