  • Title: Outpatient nursing case management for cardiovascular disease.
    Author: Dougherty CM, Spertus JA, Dewhurst TA, Nichol WP.
    Journal: Nurs Clin North Am; 2000 Dec; 35(4):993-1003. PubMed ID: 11072284.
    Abstract:
    Case management has been an effective treatment model for maintaining costs while preserving quality of care for vulnerable populations who are frequent care users. Nursing case management has been effective in improving health outcomes in chronically ill populations. Specifically, nurse practitioner care has been as effective, and in some areas, more effective in managing chronic health problems of patients than care provided by physicians. Cardiovascular disease is a chronic condition, often accompanied by long-term symptoms and disability, that is prevalent in the United States population. Outpatient nursing case management for chronic health problems associated with cardiovascular disease is posited as a model for a heavily used system that maintains quality of care in this group.
