Nurses, Physicians Hold Joint Symposium on Team-Based Care

Last week, nurses and physicians collaborated to host a joint symposium at the American College of Cardiology's 61st Annual Scientific Session on ways that healthcare providers can use a team-based approach to improve patient outcomes. This was the first time that the American College of Cardiology had collaborated with a nursing organization and the symposium was viewed as a great success. Members from the Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association (PCNA) greatly contributed to the success of this symposium which we hope will continue annually.
