Abstract
Successful collaborative practice between an acute care nurse practitioner and a physician impacts positively on patient care. Collaboration among disciplines can provide the patient with superior care that is organized, efficient, and prompt. Collaboration also gives each partner in the relationship a great deal of professional satisfaction.

In this article, the authors demonstrate the effectiveness of this practice model in the management of this patient population
