Abstract

The communication process involving the care of cardiac surgery patients from admission to discharge can be a key component to successful outcomes. The nurse practitioner plays a pivotal role in this communication process and helps coordinate many facets of patient care. This article focuses on reviewing the process in one institution and then explores research options to assist with the application of the role.
