Advanced Practice Nurse Transitional Care Program Reduces Readmission Rates

July 26, 2011 by Kevin Murphy

A recent study in the Archives of Internal Medicine determined that elderly heart failure patients who completed an Advanced Practice Nurse transitional care program while hospitalized, which entailed various pre-discharge procedures and post-discharge house calls, had a 48% lower readmission rate compared with other seniors who did not complete the program. An additional study of 257 seniors found that 12.8% of seniors who participated in the transitional care program required readmission hospitalization compared with 20% of elderly patients who did not participate in the program.

A few months ago I received a letter from the Nevada State Board of Nursing with substantial allegations. (I am a practicing Family Nurse Practitioner in Arizona, applying for FNP-C license in Nevada). I immediately called Murphy Jones APC, as I do not practice in Nevada, for help regarding the allegation, none-the-less, this practice went ...

They helped me navigate the nursing board, with a positive outcome. They were helpful, polite to work with, straight forward, and I was very happy with the results. I don’t plan to ever need legal counsel again, but if I do. i would call them.

Kevin was amazing and very knowledgeable about our case. My son was worried about the implications of a prior criminal offense on his license and credentialing paperwork. Kevin carefully guided us and pointed us in the right direction. I would highly recommend him as he is very seasoned in this area.

The office of Murphy Jones APC offered and provided me with expert, professional as well as compassionate, legal counsel and action. Their efforts on my behalf helped me to believe I did not have to surrender all hope, during an investigation against me. Uncontested or choosing to self-represent would have certainly produced a different outcome. ...

I hired Mr. Murphy because I had been accused of diversion and fired by my employer. An investigator from the BON called me and I called Mr. Murphy as soon as I got off the phone with them. He explained how he bills by the hour and not by the case and how he felt ...

Hiring Kevin Murphy was truly the best decision I have ever made. After a few nightmare experiences with criminal defense attorneys, I was skeptical of all attorneys. I believed that all attorneys only have one goal; to line their own pockets, having no concern as to the outcome of those they were entrusted to defend. ...

Kevin Murphy’s office provided me with the best free consultation of any other lawyer I spoken with. They were thorough, reviewed my paperwork and were transparent and offered me extremely helpful advice. I am very happy with the experience and I will most definitely retain this law firm if needed in the future.

I really appreciate how rapidly my situation was started! I didn't leave any time for the average attorney to take action and start on my case. Yet Kevin and Kim took immediate action diving in head first which resulted in rapid resolution. I thank you both for everything with all my heart!

I had an in-depth consult with Kevin Murphy about legal concerns. Kevin inspires confidence, he is very sharp and highly competent. Because my concerns were outside his area of practice, Kevin referred me to another firm. It was an excellent recommendation and I chose to hire them for services.
