„Physician Assistants (PA)“ – Einsatz von PAs in der Kardiologie – DGK-Positionspapier
摘要
Physician assistants have been well recognized and established team members in Anglo-American hospitals for years and their integration often leads to stabilization of high-quality clinical treatment. This is particularly important considering the shortage and high turnover of physicians. Despite a generally applicable legal regulatory framework determining the possibly transferable medical tasks, it is necessary to exactly define the field of activity for physician assistants. This position paper includes a detailed overview of possible employment of physician assistants in various inpatient cardiological fields in Germany.
