Application of King's theory of goal attainment and the Carondelet St. Mary's case management model.
The promulgation of managed care has become the catalyst for nursing leaders to creatively develop new approaches for the effective and efficient utilization of resources. The transition into a capitated environment has heightened the need for theory-based practice to new levels. The application of King's theory of goal attainment and the Carondelet St. Mary's case management model offers hope for a practical approach to the actualization of discipline development.
