North Mississippi Health Services's nursing case management program successfully reduced costs and hospital readmissions for high-risk patients. This enhanced care model improved patient quality of life and decreased length of hospital stay.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing Practice
  • Patient Outcomes

Background:

  • High-risk patients with chronic conditions often incur significant healthcare costs and experience frequent hospitalizations.
  • Effective care coordination is crucial for managing complex patient needs and improving health outcomes.
  • Existing healthcare models may not adequately address the comprehensive needs of chronically ill populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a nursing case management program for high-risk patients.
  • To assess the impact of the program on healthcare costs, hospital length of stay, and readmission rates.
  • To determine the influence of nursing case management on patient quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a dedicated nursing case management program.
