Abstract

This prospective study examined whether the integration of acute care nurse practitioners (ACNP) in a 'semiclosed' surgical intensive care unit (SICU) model increased compliance with clinical practice guidelines (CPG). Patients were admitted to critical care services with a (a) 'semiclosed'/ACNP team or (b) 'mandatory consultation'/non-ACNP team. CPG compliance was significantly higher (P < .05) on the 'semiclosed'/ACNP team for all 3 CPGs examined in the study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
