Title: A new approach to disease management for seniors. Journal: Hosp Case Manag; 1997 Aug; 5(8):136-9. PubMed ID: 10169509. Abstract: Faced with the challenge of caring for a growing elderly population, case managers at Margaret R. Pardee Memorial Hospital secured a grant to develop a comprehensive data collection system to help them keep track of elderly patients and more effectively share information with other local health care providers.

Pardee is expanding the program to include local primary care and home health agencies, who will be able to access the patient database by modem.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
