Productivity Measures: Empowering Oncology Nurse Practitioners to Understand and Demonstrate Value in Practice

Clin J Oncol Nurs. 2021 Jun 1;25(3):247-250. doi: 10.1188/21.CJON.247-250.

Abstract

Oncology nurse practitioners (ONPs) are essential providers of oncology care who work in a variety of practice settings. ONPs add to productivity in practice, but the way in which productivity is measured may not capture their full contributions and value. A greater understanding of productivity measures can empower ONPs to communicate and demonstrate their full value in practice.

Keywords: advanced practice nurse; productivity measure; relative value unit; visit volume.
