title: Community nursing centers: models of nurse managed care.
abstract: Changes in health care that have resulted in an increase in community-based nursing practice and new models for nurse managed care are developing. One of these models is the academic community nursing center. The development and characteristics of academic community nursing centers are described, using examples from one academic nursing center. Strategies for development, administration, collaboration, and funding are outlined, including the changes needed in nursing education to prepare nurses for new roles in community-based care.
