title: Nurse and parent collaborative case management in a rural setting.
abstract: A collaborative parent and nurse case management model can facilitate meeting the variety of needs of children who have special health care problems. When families live in depressed social and economic conditions in rural areas, services can be difficult to obtain. Families can be assisted to be advocates for their children by a close interaction with a nurse case manager.
