Everyone knows salaries for staff nurses are bundled into the costs for the overall hospital stay, but who pays for the Clinical Nurse Specialist salary? Well, good Clinical Nurse Specialists know how to leverage clinical practice improvements, educate and retain staff, and achieve cost recoupments to more than earn their pay---and that's because they read the examples and use the information presented in this book.Do you need to know how to perform a product comparison? This book summarizes the differences among the various types of economic evaluations so decision makers have the information they need to provide quality care and pdroducts for the front-level staff. Want to know how nurse-sensitive indicators affect the bottom line? One of the chapters discusses how to approach this. Need help with outcomes assessments? What about developing a monthly report to deliver to your boss to demonstrate your utility and value? This is all in the book.The book is also divided into specialty chapters for Cardiovascular Nurse Practitioner, Ambulatory Nurse Practitioner, Nurse-Midwifery Practice, Nurse Anesthesia, and the Doctor of Nursing Practice. I'm not really sure why these specialties were chosen over other specialties. It would be good to read about outcome measures and advice from expert Nurse Practitioners or Clinical Nurse Specialists in Emergency/Trauma, Orthopaedics, and Periop. But, I guess that's why we have to join our respective specialty organizations and be active on the listservs.I borrowed this book from our medical library and I'm fortunate that I don't accrue fines. The librarian knows I have it on my desk and I'll hand it back when someone else requests it or I leave the organization! In any case, if you're not generating RVUs, then this book will help justify your position and the value you bring to the organization.

Very well written book. Wonderful resource for any actively practice advanced practice nurse looking for assistance with demonstrating outcomes. Highly recommend.

Excellent resource for Doctoral program. Up to date information. Good guidelines for selecting assessment instruments and in measuring the results of APN care.

Excellent!! Easy read!

Excellent book!
