摘要

导言:在人口老龄化的推动下,骨科手术在全球外科干预中占了很大一部分(Spence 等人,2019 年)。目的:本文介绍了一项实践发展计划,该计划将护士纳入骨科团队,为接受髋关节和膝关节置换术的患者提供术后护理:方法:从电子健康记录和在线调查中收集汇总数据:通过描述性和推论性统计,我们的数据分析显示,实施 NP 后情况有了显著改善。月手术量增加了 41.6%,这表明医疗服务的可及性得到了提高。据统计,髋关节和膝关节手术的平均住院时间均有所缩短(p 结论:这项研究强调了实施 NP 所带来的多方面影响:这项研究强调了将 NP 整合到骨科护理中的多方面益处,包括改善患者预后、提高医疗保健效率以及对医疗保健团队动态产生积极影响。继续投资骨科领域的 NP 项目对于进一步优化护理服务和患者疗效至关重要。倡导扩大 NP 在骨科手术中的作用将有助于提高该专业的护理标准。

Enhancing orthopedic care: The impact of introducing nurse practitioners

Introduction

Orthopedic surgery constitutes a significant portion of surgical interventions globally, driven by aging populations (Spence et al., 2019). Nurse practitioners (NPs) have emerged as essential team members in orthopedic surgery, offering expertise and advanced training.

Purpose

This paper describes a practice development initiative that saw the integration of NPs to the orthopedic team to provide postoperative care to patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasty procedures.

Methods

Aggregate data was collected from electronic health records and from online surveys.

Results

Using descriptive and inferential statistics our data analysis revealed significant improvements post-NP implementation. Monthly surgeries increased by 41.6%, indicating enhanced access to care. The average length of stay decreased statistically for both hip and knee surgeries (p < 0.001), resulting in substantial cost savings and streamlined resource utilization. The readmission rate post-discharge also decreased by 41.6%, reflecting improved continuity of care facilitated by NPs. Surveys among healthcare staff demonstrated positive feedback regarding NP integration, highlighting improved accessibility, bed utilization, and timely treatment of medical issues.

Conclusion

This study underscores the multifaceted benefits of NP integration in orthopedic care, including enhanced patient outcomes, improved healthcare efficiency, and positive impacts on the healthcare team dynamics. Continued investment in NP programs in orthopedic settings is crucial for further optimizing care delivery and patient outcomes. Advocating for the expansion of the NP role in orthopedic surgery will contribute to elevating the standard of care in this specialty.
