title: Nurse practitioners and community health nurses. Clinical partnerships and future visions.
abstract: This article discusses opportunities for nurse practitioner and community health nurse partnerships in patient care. Financial incentives in a restructured health delivery system will increase access to community-based care. The authors argue that case management will be greatly enhanced by clinical partnerships and a direct reimbursement of nurse practitioner and primary care providers.
