States that allow highly trained nurses to work independently see better health outcomes than those that require physician supervision, according to a new study.

Marilyn Rantz, a Curators’ Professor Emerita in the Sinclair School of Nursing, and Isabella Zaniletti, an adjunct professor in the College of Arts and Science, were also co-authors on the study.

A 2021 study from the University of Missouri's Sinclair School of Nursing found that telehealth nurses saw a twofold increase in their workload, mainly due to added communication.
