Literature Review Most literature to date focuses on the integration/collaboration/and or comparison to medical resident staffed trauma teams. (Livesley, Christmas, Reines, Terry, Tye, Furlong, Ballard, Bray, Henrich, Nyberg, Sherwood, et.al.)

Some literature focuses on outcomes of APCs utilized in trauma centers. (Nyberg, Fanta, Oswanski, Gillard, Mikhail, Haan, et.al.).

Literature Review What are the outcomes of the studies?

Adding CRNP staff led to improvements with discharge rounds compared to house staff (Haan, et.al.)

PNPs vs residents provided decreased LOS and higher patient satisfaction scores (Fanta, teal.)

Trauma patients satsified with MLPs care (Nyberg, et.al.)

PAs vs. residents provided decreased LOS on floor (Oswanski, et.al.)

MLPs provide effective and efficient care on a trauma service (Mikhail, et.al.)

How do we round? ICU Team and Floor Team: 

APC pre‐rounds with EM residents, APC residents, and students.

Bedside rounds with trauma attending and multi‐disciplinary  team: pharmacy, nurse, case management, nutrition, etc. 

APC  or resident presents patient.  MD directs/supervises rounds. 

Resuscitations APC, EM resident, or APC resident acts as team leader MD directs/supervises

Methods We compared EARLY to FULL staff time periods. 

Basic demographics as well as ISS, LOS, ICU LOC, hospital DC disposition, and common complications were recorded for all patients

Data collected from trauma registry

Page 19: APCs in Hospital Settings Mary Ruth Pugh, MSN, FNP-BC · Full Staff Model APC Rounding Census APC Coverage ICU = up to 10 patients/day per APC Floor =up to 15 patients/day per APC

Results Complications, readmissions, and mortality rates were the same.  Early complication rates were 14 % vs. fully staffed rates were 13% (ns).

Readmissions for early staff 3.29 % vs full staff 3.28 % (ns).

Mortality rates for early staff 4.00%  vs. 3.37% for full staff p=0.14 trended to sig.

Page 20: APCs in Hospital Settings Mary Ruth Pugh, MSN, FNP-BC · Full Staff Model APC Rounding Census APC Coverage ICU = up to 10 patients/day per APC Floor =up to 15 patients/day per APC

Conclusions Adding APC staff to our trauma service based on safe rounding limits and care coordination is associated with: Decreased LOS for hospital days, ICU days, and LOS for those discharged to SNF

No significant change in complications, readmissions, or mortality (despite increased age and increased ISS)

Page 21: APCs in Hospital Settings Mary Ruth Pugh, MSN, FNP-BC · Full Staff Model APC Rounding Census APC Coverage ICU = up to 10 patients/day per APC Floor =up to 15 patients/day per APC

Conclusions Adding a residency was not accounted for in the staff census. 

Tracking cost data would be beneficial.

We continue to track our staff vs patient census to optimize our team.
