Clinical practice and new technology: prostate-specific antigen (PSA).

In response to a marked increase in the use of an available test, Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound (GHC) evaluated the use of prostatic specific antigen (PSA) as a screening test for prostate cancer. A project team reviewed the literature and determined that PSA did not meet GHC's criteria for screening. An implementation team then developed a comprehensive program to educate staff, facilitate practice change, measure outcomes and provide continuing feedback to physicians. These efforts are described and preliminary reports reported.

Advanced nurse practice. A model for collaboration.

The authors present an argument for separate advanced practice nursing roles. A model is presented for collaborative practice between two advanced practice nursing roles--a nurse practitioner and a clinical nurse specialist/case manager. The model was developed from the clinical practice of the authors' work in a community health center. A clinical example is provided that explicates the distinct and separate roles of each provider and demonstrates their collaboration to provide excellent, cost-effective healthcare.
