Neighborhood nursing--the community as partner.
Neighborhood nursing seeks to make community health nursing activities more far reaching than those currently reimbursed by third parties, focusing on the issues of health promotion and disease prevention as significantly as the industry has focused on the acute care provision in home care. Yet variables in community nursing have changed what was the traditional focus of community health nursing practice. One agency is developing a program that will allow delivery of a different type of community health nursing. The outcome is a much richer delivery of care.
