J Nurs Care Qual. 1999 Oct;14(1):63-71. doi: 10.1097/00001786-199910000-00008.

Abstract

In the Netherlands, there are two kinds of nurse clinics for asthmatics. Extramural nurse clinics are run under the sole responsibility of a home care organization while transmural nurse clinics are run under the joint responsibility of a home care organization and a hospital. This article gives insight into the opinions of professionals and parents of asthmatic children about the care given at these clinics. The conclusion is that organizational differences between the clinics do not influence parents' (positive) perceptions about the quality and continuity of care provided at the clinics.
