What are Advanced Practice Nurses?

Clinical Nurse Specialist

(CNS)

Nurse Practitioner

(NP)

Training MSc MSc incl. 600 hrs. clinical training

What Specialty areas within nursing

practice: defined by

population, setting,

disease/health problem

Primary care or specialized area

(family health, geriatrics,

pediatrics etc.) collaboratively

with physicians and other

health professions

Setting • Hospitals

• Long-term care

• Community health

• Ambulatory health

• Long-term care

• Hospitals

Scope In addition to direct patient

care, CNS have a system-

focused role as:

• Clinical expert

• Educator

• Consultant

• Evidence-based change

agent

• take health histories, perform

physical exams,

• assess, treat, and evaluate

acute and chronic illness

• order / interpret tests

• prescribe/ manage

medications

• Since 2012 ANP+ with 600 hrs.

• Since 2015 at Kaleidos

• In preparation at UNIL

• >350 MSc-trained nurses from

APNs provide high quality care

11 RCT, 30247 patients

systolic blood pressure

• No significant differences in view of

• Diastolic blood pressure

• Total cholesterol

• HbA1c

• Quality of studies suboptimal (bias)

• Other 32 clinical parameters not included in meta-

analysis:

• Less then a fifth favored nurse-led care

• 25 parameter no difference

Martinez-Gonzalez et al. BMC Health Services Research 2014; 14: 214

22 Studies

Meta-analysis (outcomes studied 3 times or more):

• patient satisfaction

• hospital admission

• mortality

• Effects on QOL and costs were difficult to interpret due to heterogeneity of

methods applied

• Quality of studies suboptimal (bias)

• Moderator analysis shows importance of careful interpretation of findings.

• 43 papers involving 28 studies

• 15 studies reported in multiple papers

• 65% of studies occurred after 2000

• Country of origin (US , UK, Netherlands, etc.)

• Risk of Bias (~60% is high or moderate)

• Quality of Economic Analyses (~87% is poor)

Key points

• APNs is a key element of new models of care

• Nurse-led models of care are on par with usual care in terms

of clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction and cost.

• APNs are part of an interprofessional team – APNs and

physicians work together.

• We need an interprofessional discussion about APNs in the

Swiss Healthcare System.
