Case management: managing the nurse case manager.
Nurse executives and nurse managers have become proactive in response to the health care crisis by creating and implementing innovative health care delivery models such as nursing case management. Nursing case management utilizes a nurse as case manager and the unit-based system of managed care to achieve financial and clinical outcomes for target patient groups. Nurse managers can support the nursing case management model best by practicing good managerial skills, developing a participative style of leadership, and empowering the nurse case manager.
