Nurse-physician collaboration: solving the nursing shortage crisis.

Full Abstract

The current severe nursing shortage in the United States has many causes and its solution requires new strategies. Collaboration among the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN), the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) has provided a model for the multidisciplinary approach needed. Nurse-physician collaboration is an important strategy to address the ongoing shortage.
