Abstract
Differentiated nursing practice (DNP) has demonstrated positive outcomes for patients, practitioners, and healthcare organizations. By expanding the principles of DNP to an interdisciplinary model, members of the oncology program of Indiana University Medical Center found that these outcomes were magnified. Patients' access to healthcare services improved, as did their efficacy in self-care behaviors; practitioners reported improved role satisfaction and use of fellow team members; and lengths of hospitalization and premature readmisssions were reduced.Keywords
