m J Crit Care. 2002 Sep;11(5):448-58. Acute care nurse practitioners: creating and implementing a model of care for an inpatient general medical service. Howie JN1, Erickson M. Author information Abstract Changes in medical education and healthcare reimbursement are recent threats to most academic medical centers' dual mission of patient care and education. Financial pressures stem from reduced insurance reimbursement, capitation, and changes in public funding for medical residency education. Pressures for innovation result from increasing numbers of patients, higher acuity of patients, an aging population of patients with complex problems, and restrictions on residency workloads. A framework for addressing the need for innovation in the medical service at a large academic medical center is presented. The framework enables acute care nurse practitioners to provide inpatient medical management in collaboration with a hospitalist. The model's development, acceptance, successes, pitfalls, and evaluation are described. The literature describing the use of nurse practitioners in acute care settings is reviewed.Sawanek (talk) 13:23, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Curr Opin Crit Care. 2006 Dec;12(6):609-13. The evolving role of the acute care nurse practitioner in critical care. Howie-Esquivel J1, Fontaine DK. Author information Abstract PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The newest nurse practitioner role is the acute care nurse practitioner. This paper presents the latest data on the role from both a US and international perspective. RECENT FINDINGS: Now present in the USA for at least 15 years, the acute care nurse practitioner role has become well established in critical care settings and is moving into international healthcare. The few outcome studies conducted to date demonstrate the acute care nurse practitioner provides quality patient and family care, improves patient satisfaction, is cost effective, and is an answer to the hospital's shortage of medical residents with new restrictions on working hours. SUMMARY: The role of acute care nurse practitioners in critical care is increasing worldwide. Most countries are experimenting with this latest nurse practitioner as an extended-role healthcare provider with many potential benefits to patients and their families, as well as the healthcare systemSawanek (talk) 13:22, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
