Task Forces Will Develop Recommendations for Resources Clinical Nurse Specialists Need to Improve Care for Patients
The National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists (NACNS) today announced the formation of two new task forces that will address two pressing issues in health care: malnutrition in hospitalized patients; and caring for patients with multiple chronic conditions. Clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) are advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who ensure high quality nursing care that is evidence-based and promotes patient safety, while improving patient outcomes and lowering health care costs.
