On occasion the APP who functions primarily in the inpatient areas may perform some coordination of outpatient follow-up after discharge. The APP may be involved in procedures as appropriate. The APP has a strong foundation in evidenced-based practice and education and has a responsibility for ensuring an environment of safe quality care.

The APP demonstrates an advanced level of medical knowledge, clinical and technical competency, sound clinical judgment, professionalism as it relates to interpersonal and general communication skills, timely and compliant documentation, and takes responsibility for ongoing professional development and competency validation
