Case management and nursing practice.
Does adopting a case management model alter nursing practice? The authors examine the effect case management has on nurse-client relationships and nurse-colleague relationships and explore how nurses are using case management as a vehicle to achieve professionalism. The article is based on a literature review of case management for community-dwelling elderly residents and interviews with 17 community-based nurses practicing as case managers in Canada.
