title: Planning an integrated population-based program.
abstract: Social, economic, and political pressures demand that hospitals focus on ways to provide cost-effective, population-based care. As a member of the hospital executive staff, nurse administrators need to have a method for analyzing, planning, implementing, and evaluating prospective programs and be able to articulate their potential and relative worth in terms of cost, quality, and value. The author presents a template model for integrated population-based program planning. Children's Home-Based Asthma Management and Prevention Service (CHAMPS) is presented to illustrate application of the model.
