title: Hospital case management: the path to empowering nurses.
abstract: Hospital nursing case management is a client-centered approach to patient care that emphasizes client outcomes and nurse accountability. While nursing case management uses the nursing process, it also promotes patient advocacy throughout the entire episode of illness. By incorporating this model of care, nurses can increase their authority, creativity, and satisfaction in the health care system.
