Reacción a "Substituting physicians for nurses in hospital interventions does not affect patient safety, says review"

This review is highly reliable because it analyses 82 clinical trials involving more than 28,000 patients, and is the first to focus solely on hospitals. It concludes that nurses can safely perform medical tasks while maintaining quality and patient safety, although it warns that economic data varies greatly and most studies come from wealthy countries.

For Spain, this supports the creation of more advanced practice nursing consultations, primarily for chronic diseases, to streamline care. The key recommendation is that this change be made with advanced training and clear protocols, always ensuring that it does not place an excessive burden on nurses that affects their well-being or the quality of service.
