A nurse is implementing Wagner's Chronic Care Model (CCM). Which of the following actions would most likely be taken by the nurse?
a. Educate a community group about hyper-tension control
b. Create a budget for chronic disease man-agement
c. Administer immunizations to community members
d. Conduct depression screenings in the community
ANS: A
Use of electronic health records, provider reminders for key evidence-based care components, interprofessional teams communicating regularly, and community health classes to educate people with chronic diseases are various ways the CCM is being implemented. Creating a budget is not a way to use CCM. Administration of immunizations and conducting depression screenings do not address the management of the most common and costly chronic diseases: heart disease, diabe-tes, stroke, cancer, and arthritis.
