To better understand the role and importance of Advanced Practice Providers in oncology care, Chadi hosts Sarah Wyman, MSN, ACNP-BC, and Katie Simon, MMSc, PA-C, both co-leads of the APPs on the inpatient malignant hematology services team at Emory University Winship Cancer Institute. They begin by explaining the similar training and skill sets of NPs and PAs, the history of these positions over the past 25 years, and the day-to-day responsibilities for inpatient APPs. Then, they share how discharge planning is handled, the level of autonomy granted to APPs in decision making and test ordering, how doctors relate to APPs in the clinic (and whether there is friction), and their role in initiating end-of-life discussions, among so much more.
