Physician Services Procedure Investigation

Introduction

The introduction of a new procedure in the hospital setup that physicians want nurses to adopt in the healthcare system is the adoption of the hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the patients. The procedure introduction is approved in the standard way and is subjected to the monitoring under the supervision of the registered nurse in the hospital. The RNs will monitor the procedure operation in order to determine and minimize risk.
