Why is it important?
This article was some of the very first reported data showing statistical significance in demonstrating that nurse practitioners have greater success in patients completing an advance directive as compared to physician only discussion with patients about advance directives.
Perspectives
This was a completion of 6 years of data collection for my dissertation of my Ph.D. research. Although my employer, United Healthcare received tremendous positive publicity over the positive results of my dissertation results, they chose to terminate my employment since I did not wait properly for approval in publishing my own research.
