The role involves using the nursing process with at-risk patients to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate clinical strategies that lead to quality outcomes, cost efficiency, and enhanced patient experience. The nurse works across the care continuum to support patients in clinical management, education, psychosocial needs, self-management, advocacy, and care continuity.

The nurse facilitates communication among patients, families, multidisciplinary teams, and community resources to identify and resolve barriers to care.
