The scope of practice includes managing quality measures, performing accurate risk assessments, recommending adjustments to longitudinal care, providing care for non-life or limb threatening urgent concerns, facilitating advanced care planning, transition of care visits, longitudinal management of high risk patients often in coordination with the primary care provider, and other key actions while collaborating with an interdisciplinary team to align care with patient health goals. The above actions, combined with preventive and timely patient care, afford emergency department and hospital admission avoidance which is a known factor in decreasing complications while maintaining a higher quality of life in this subset of patients.
