Figure 2 Percentage of bed charges during the length of the study. Over the course of our study, the average room charge per patient stay decreased as the dedicated NP was introduced into the PCVDU. The addition of the NP did not add specific charges as their services were bundled into the hospital and physician charges. NP: Nurse practitioner; PCVDU: Pediatric chronic ventilator dependent unit.
