Abstract: | The health care revolution is challenging nursing to change, as are the rapidly changing population demographics. The aging of America underlines a need for the health care revolution to address continuum-based care requirements, particularly of the chronically ill older population. They and their families are stressed with the current fragmentation of the health care system. Continuum-based care for the chronically ill is critical in altering the trajectory of health care consumption, and case management is central to it. A model of nurse case management is presented as an emerging solution. |
