| Sumario: | This commentary focuses on the effectiveness and evaluation of nurse-led clinics for patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), based on a systematic review by Alzhanova et al. Nurse-led models involve registered and advanced practice nurses delivering comprehensive, evidence-based care that includes clinical management, care coordination, behavior change support, and equity-driven, person-centered approaches. The article emphasizes the importance of clearly defining nurses’ scope of practice, selecting relevant patient-centered and health system outcomes beyond mortality, and thoroughly describing usual care comparators in research. It also highlights challenges in intervention design, reporting, and implementation, advocating for innovative trial methodologies and incorporation of implementation science to better understand how nurse-led interventions work and can be scaled sustainably within health systems. |
