  • Title: Nursing case management: affecting quality and cost.
    Author: Bryan B, Dickerson D, Fleming MA, Gholston L, Thompson L.
    Journal: Hosp Mater Manage Q; 1994 Nov; 16(2):63-75. PubMed ID: 10137783.
    Abstract:
    North Mississippi Health Services' nursing case management program has been deemed a success by all parties involved, especially the patients. High-risk patients with specific chronic health problems receive an enhanced level of care and experience significant reductions in cost, length of stay, and repeat hospitalizations. Quality of life for many of these patients is also improved. These outcomes are made possible by assigning a registered nurse to case manage or coordinate care for these patients.
