The accomplishments are as follows: Appropriate use of consulting services. Reduction in the mortality rate. Increase in the number of patients (76%) who returned to home versus skilled nursing facilities. Reduction of LOS. Fifty-seven percent of patients are independent with ADLs at 6 months after hip fracture repair. Sixty-four percent remain independent ambulators and use aids on an as needed basis. Our team has learned that we need to improve certain areas of the program. We need to reinforce to the staff the importance of following skin care and toileting guidelines. Other research articles looking at the overall condition of the geriatric patient have used the Apache score or the Anesthesia Rating score and we plan to follow suit. The Apache and Anesthesia ratings have been used to predict outcomes; the higher the score, the less successful the outcome. Within the cost structure, we needed to become more aware of the comorbidity costs and identify opportunities to address these issues.</p>","PeriodicalId":79521,"journal":{"name":"Nursing case management : managing the process of patient care","volume":"4 6","pages":"263-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21699540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Coile takes a broad view of millennial issues, while Matthews responds to those issues with her clinician's perspective. Case management will face challenges and opportunities as a result of internal and external pressures to the healthcare community. These pressures, both near- and far-term, will simultaneously strengthen and tax the case manager's responsibilities. Developments in technology and demands for more and better access to high-quality patient information will require nursing case managers to expand their knowledge of, and influence over, the application of technology and information systems. Case managers will need to participate in advocating, planning, and deploying these systems. Technological challenges will not change case managers' fundamental roles within an organization, but they will strengthen and support those roles by harnessing the information necessary to allow more efficient outcomes, create standards of care, and increase patient satisfaction.</p>","PeriodicalId":79521,"journal":{"name":"Nursing case management : managing the process of patient care","volume":"4 6","pages":"244-51; quiz 252-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21699538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
