In the second part of this series on issues in ward management facing charge nurses, Claire Hale examines the role of the charge nurse in relation to three areas which are fundamental to Project 2000: the supernumerary status of students, the linking of theory to practice and the provision of a suitable learning environment. With the success or otherwise of the new courses depending to such a large extent on the enthusiasm and co-operation of charge nurses, the author suggests a number of tangible 'rewards' which may be offered in recognition of their efforts.
Case management, a strategy to co-ordinate the services and care required by groups of patients, evolved in the US and is becoming increasingly popular in this country. The author explains what it involves, but warns that the evidence from the US of its advantages is very weak.
Case management and managed care are strategies for co-ordinating the services and care required by groups of patients in a variety of clinical areas. These systems have been described and discussed in a previous issue of Nursing Standard (1) which highlighted the fact that evidence used to support the effectiveness of these systems is currently very weak. The purpose of this article is to discuss some of the research and evaluation issues.
