title: Early lessons from a capitated community-based nursing model.
abstract: The community nursing organization (CNO) demonstration is a three-year Medicare program to develop, manage, and evaluate a new capitated, nurse-managed system of community and ambulatory care. Since February 1994, four national sites have started CNOs. The CNO at Carondelet Health Care in Tucson, Arizona, shares early experiences in designing and implementing an exciting new community practice model.
