3. Nurses increasingly make decisions on purchasing services, products
A critical factor to any sales plan in this industry is realizing that nurses are key stakeholders, increasingly becoming the decision makers when it comes to buying new tools and technology. This dynamic is happening because nurses today deliver the majority of clinical care in doctors' offices. Advanced practice nurses are running free-standing clinics. And, in most practices, there is a four-to-one ratio between nurses and physicians.

4. Studies: Doctors, Nurses fall short on CPR
CPR is often performed inadequately by doctors, paramedics and nurses, according to two studies of resuscitation efforts during cardiac arrest. Among common problems: Rescuers did not push hard enough or often enough on the victim's chest to restart the heart, and breathed air into the lungs too often - either mouth-to-mouth or through breathing tubes. Both studies used an experimental monitor that assesses CPR quality, and both received funding from Laerdal Medical Corp., a Norwegian company that helped developed the device.
The studies appear in today's Journal of the American Medical Association.
