The escalating cost of chronic disease and the increasing age of the US population calls for a new healthcare model. Disease management systems may be the answer to these changing demands. The nurse case manager as educator, planner, and administrator can ensure the best use of resources in a disease management model. This article explores the role of nurse case management in a disease management model.
