Providing cost effective care is a professional aspect of the Advance Nurse Practitioner's role when caring for clients. Diagnostic testing can aid in therapeutic decision making, but contributes substantially to the cost of medical care. Testing is necessary in most cases, and if used improperly can cause significant cost and not lend much to diagnostic accuracy.
Write a 3-5 page APA formatted paper on the need to provide cost effective care without limiting access to care.
Discuss:
Why this is an important aspect of providing care to patients
How care can be made more affordable without limiting access to necessary care
How to maintain cost effectiveness and still get the needed information for a diagnosis without ordering unnecessary diagnostic exams
