Background: The number of patients with multimorbidity has increased due to the aging of the global population. Although the World Health Organization has indicated that multimorbidity will be a major medical problem in the future, the appropriate interventions for patients with multimorbidity are currently unknown. This study aimed to investigate whether nurse-led interprofessional work is associated with improved prognosis in heart failure patients with multimorbidity aged ≥65 years who were admitted in an acute care hospital.
Methods: Patients who were admitted to the cardiovascular medicine ward of an acute care hospital in Osaka, Japan, and underwent nurse-led interprofessional work from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2020, and from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2016, were included in this retrospective cohort study. The patients were matched by age, sex, and New York Heart Association classification. The nurse-led interprofessional work was based on a three-step model that incorporates recommendations from international guidelines for multimorbidity. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 80 years, and 62 % were men. The nurse-led interprofessional work group showed a significant difference in all-cause mortality compared with the usual care group (hazard ratio, 0.45; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 0.29-0.69; < 0.001). Compared with the usual care group, the nurse-led interprofessional work group exhibited a 7 % difference in mortality rate at 1-year post-discharge ( < 0.001).
Conclusions: Nurse-led interprofessional work may reduce the all-cause mortality in older patients with heart failure and multimorbidity.

Background: Delays in sepsis recognition contribute to delays in antibiotic administration, which lead to increased morbidity and mortality in patients with sepsis. Our objective was to create an Emergency Department (ED) Code Sepsis Nurse-led team to reduce the time to antibiotics and mortality in patients with sepsis.
Methods: This initiative was implemented at a community hospital in Southern California in response to previous undesirable sepsis outcomes.

Introduction: Genomics is a lifespan competency that is important for improving health outcomes for individuals, families, and communities. Nurses play a key role in genomic healthcare and realizing the potential of the genomic era.
Methods: We aimed to chart the current state of genomics in nursing by conducting a systematic scoping review of the literature in four databases (2012-2022).
A nurse-led interprofessional clinic adopted the use of remote patient monitoring (RPM) for glucose monitoring to better serve their patient population of uninsured patients with uncontrolled diabetes. The adoption of the RPM system required an infrastructure design to connect multiple data points and adapt to the needs of the clinic's unique patient population for a seamless provider and patient experience. Implementation requirements were addressed in three phases: protocol adaptation, enrollment workflow, and clinic management of RPM patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how oncologists were involved in a nurse-led palliative care intervention for patients with advanced cancer, emphasizing the importance of communication within the care team.
- Out of 336 patients, a significant majority (88%) had at least one visit where their oncologist was informed about their care plan, showing that the oncologists were generally aware of the intervention.
- Despite the awareness, oncologists were rarely engaged in the intervention process, suggesting that future palliative care models should focus on improving communication and collaboration among healthcare providers.
