title: Rural health screening: a case study in coordination.
abstract: Collaboration helped a group of health care professionals identify clients' health needs, exchange professional knowledge, offer insight, and plan and implement a health screening program for rural older adults at risk for diabetes mellitus. The authors found collaboration with health professionals to be synergistic and energizing. When nurses with various educational and experiential backgrounds work together, rural clients' needs can be addressed. This project was funded by the American Diabetes Association, Ohio Affiliate.
