The AAOHN Journal added two new clinical sections. The new sections focus on Hospital Occupational Health and Nurse Practitioner Practice issues. Together with the Case Management Update column, these features comprise “CLINICAL ROUNDS.” Each month's issue of the Journal includes one of these focus areas, which will explore a variety of topics and case situations with the goal of advancing occupational health nursing practice. Readers are encouraged to provide feedback and offer ideas for future topic discussions.
