The Office of Nursing Services of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) piloted implementation of the clinical nurse leader (CNL) into the care delivery model and established a strategic goal in 2011 to implement the CNL role across the VA health care system. The VA Office of Nursing Services CNL Implementation and Evaluation (CNL I&E) Service was created as one mechanism to facilitate that goal in response to a need identified by facility nurse executives for consultative support for CNL practice integration. This article discusses strategies employed by the CNL I&E consultative team to help facility-level nursing leadership integrate CNLs into practice. Measures of success include steady growth in CNL practice capacity as well as positive feedback from nurse executives about the value of consultative engagement. Future steps to better integrate CNL practice into the VA include consolidation of lessons learned, collaboration to strengthen the evidence base for CNL practice, and further exploration of the transformational potential of CNL practice across the care continuum.

Article Synopsis
  • Human trafficking (HT) is a rapidly growing global issue, and healthcare professionals often lack the necessary training to effectively identify and assist victims, which poses major health risks.
  • The majority of HT victims have encountered healthcare providers, particularly in hospital settings, making case managers critical in recognizing and responding to these cases.
  • To enhance their effectiveness, case managers should familiarize themselves with tools and models for victim identification and care, while also understanding the myths and signs of trafficking to offer better support and potentially help prosecute traffickers.

Traditional nitrogen fertilizers (TNF), such as urea, percolate easily in arid fields, posing low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and a high non-point pollution risk. Controlled-release fertilizers (CRF) exhibit significantly lower deep seepage, rendering it a favorable choice in arid fields due to its ability to enhance NUE through slow-release mechanisms. However, current models do not fully account for the soil nitrogen dynamics and crop interactions under controlled-release conditions, and lack quantification.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and brain metastases are often treated with osimertinib, but the effectiveness of adding stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is uncertain.
  • This study proposes a meta-analysis of existing trials to determine if SRS combined with osimertinib improves control of brain metastases compared to osimertinib alone.
  • The research will evaluate various outcomes, including intracranial progression-free survival and overall survival, and will be shared with the medical community and patients through publications and presentations.*
