title: Case management: more population-based data.
abstract: A pilot project conducted in a 540-bed teaching hospital reveals more population-based data related to nursing case management, a system of patient care that promotes cost containment while ensuring quality outcomes. Positive outcomes were demonstrated in quality of care, patient satisfaction, staff satisfaction, length of stay, and cost.
