A public health nurse (PHN) is working with the chronically ill and families with young children needing age-specific health maintenance. Which of the following models of case management is being used?
a. Client-focused
b. System-focused
c. Social service
d. Long-term care
ANS: A
The concern in client-focused models is with the relationship between case manager and client to support continuity of care and to access providers of care. System focused models address the structure and processes of using the population-based tools of disease management and case management plans to offer care for client populations. The social service models provide services to clients to assist them in living independently in the community and in maintaining their health by eliminating or reducing the need for hospital admissions or long-term care. Long-term care is not a model of case management.
