Abstract
This study attempts to demonstrate that an emergency/ambulatory nurse practitioner (NP) performs her role in emergency medicine with reliability and thoroughness; that she can effectively work as part of a nurse practitioner-physician team (NP/MD), provided her capabilities are fully used and that her role is complementary to the physician's. The team effort results in a reciprocal effect as demonstrated by professional performance patterns (PPP) and a subliminal triage effect should develop between NP and the physician. A "weighted" professional productivity formula is presented that has interesting potential. Time flow data is presented along with other demographic data. The problem oriented medical record format, as adapted for emergency medicine, again demonstrated effective auditability.
