Development and implementation of nurse-managed health programs: a problem-oriented approach.
Nurse-managed wellness care is an important health care alternative for the elderly. The obstacles to independent nursing practice can be met and dealt with creatively, as this demonstration project has shown. Further evaluation should prove that PNS has been effective in improving or maintaining the health and quality of life of elderly clients. Other nurse-managed enterprises need to be developed to expand the range of quality health care opportunities for people of all ages.
