Ambulatory Care Nursing at Stanford Health Care is a multifaceted specialty, encompassing non-acute health services to patients who receive care in the outpatient setting. Ambulatory Care Nursing utilizes evidence-based practice and unique specialty care in outpatient settings to achieve quality care, patient safety, and improve healthcare outcomes for individuals, families, groups, and communities. Ambulatory Care Nurses are skilled in facilitating comprehensive practice and multidisciplinary collaboration, as well as coordinating health services to establish and maintain nursing and clinical excellence. Ambulatory Care Nurses are patient advocates and advisers, partnering with patients and family members to make informed decisions, achieve health goals, incorporate individual health care needs, and assist patients in navigating the healthcare system to align with treatment preferences and resources across the continuum of care. These interactions and encounters establish long-term relationships. In addition, the flexibility of ambulatory settings in the use of telehealth technologies allows consultations and surveillance of patients to be optimally conducted. High-quality ambulatory care nursing has been shown to reduce readmissions and emergency visits from patients.
