Program Abstract:
Student Health centers are looking for creative, efficient, and cost-effective ways to maximize patient care. This presentation will explore one university’s approach to utilizing Registered Nurse (RN) led clinics to help alleviate patient volume, encourage RNs to work at the level of their professional licensure, and increase availability of services. From triage to tracking to testing for sexually transmitted infections, RNs can provide quality patient care through standing orders and established protocols.
