ACCC: Statement on the Value of Oncology Advanced Practitioners

"Advanced Practitioners (APs), defined by the Advanced Practitioner Society for Hematology and Oncology (APSHO), include physician assistants, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and pharmacists. These individuals work with their physician colleagues to provide safe, cost effective care. APs improve practice workflow and efficiency, enabling physicians to care for more patients and focus on those who need complex care. Patient satisfaction remains high among patients who see interdisciplinary teams who can provide specialized care."
