Next steps for nursing
Article Abstract:
'Hospitals and Health Networks' magazine and Premier Hospitals Alliance conducted a survey of 228 nurses and discovered that nurses believe their roles in the management of patient care will increase significantly by 1998. Nurses expect to become key factors in the financial survival of hospitals by becoming effective case managers who move patients through the system by means of direct courses of treatment. Nurses believe that they can reduce patient stays and make effective use of resources if they function as case managers.
