Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing Practice
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • Nursing case management (NCM) is a model of care coordination.
  • Evaluating the impact of NCM on patient outcomes and resource utilization is crucial.
  • Previous research indicates potential benefits, but long-term cost-effectiveness requires ongoing assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare nursing case management (NCM) outcomes over a three-year period.
  • To analyze resource utilization, service costs, and NCM costs associated with the NCM model.
  • To determine the sustained impact of NCM on patient care quality and cost-effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study design across three years.
  • Comparative analysis of resource allocation and service expenditures.
  • Tracking of NCM-specific costs in relation to patient outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Nursing case management (NCM) demonstrated consistent improvements in patient care quality.
  • Analysis indicated that NCM is a cost-effective approach to healthcare delivery.
  • Resource utilization and service costs were managed effectively within the NCM framework.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing case management (NCM) is an effective strategy for improving patient care.
  • The NCM model offers a sustainable, cost-effective solution in healthcare resource management.
  • Continued implementation of NCM is recommended for optimizing patient outcomes and controlling costs.
