New skills sets needed to navigate managed care.
Nurse managers in the late 1990s and the 21st century may find themselves working for a managed care organization, and certainly will find themselves employed in a managed health care environment. The roles and opportunities are many for managers who have the right combination of skills and knowledge. Understanding managed care language and strategies in synergy, with a creative leadership approach, enables nurse managers to move successfully from acute care to the new world now unfolding.
