Deb, I was told yesterday after few months working on designing a PCP and working towards having the best team with at least a physician champion that there won't be such a structure. I'll be working conulting the pts as they are referred to me, process that hasn't been clarified yet.I'm a nurse but not a NP as I well as you( what I understood from your posting). Please can you tell me how you get the referrals and if you have a model for consultations. Do you write orders (NP) or just leave recommendations for the primary physician. How often are they followed? Hoew do you arrange or coordiante services from chaplins or SWorkers if needed?

Your advice will be very helpful.

Thanks IT
