title: Health outcomes skills for care management.
abstract: There are several skills nurses can develop or expand to improve their ability to manage outcomes. This is an exciting area for nurses and one that is valued during times of cost reduction in healthcare. In addition to increasing skills in the health outcomes management arena, nurses will benefit from a continual increase in knowledge of case management, clinical pathways, and guidelines. The healthcare market-place is likely to reward nurses with these skills.
