Abstract

This article describes the use of PAs and NPs in an ID specialty service at a comprehensive cancer center. We have outlined the process through which the ID department at MDACC successfully integrated PAs and NPs into patient care services as judged by an overall increase in departmental productivity, broadened patient care coverage, and ID physician satisfaction with midlevel services. This article provides one model of practice for integrating PAs and NPs into oncology IDs.
