Abstract

Abstract Nursing case management evolved in the mid-1980s as a hospital-based acute care delivery system to respond to changes in healthcare reimbursement, shortened length of stay and limited hospital resources. Nursing case management is a nurse driven model of care to organize and structure the complex processes in the delivery of healthcare.

The case management care plan serves as a step-bystep map to organize and guide care across a continuum.
