A college-managed nursing center offers training in case management for nursing students.
The College of Nursing, State University of New York Health Science Center at Brooklyn, operates a nursing center in conjunction with a nonprofit social work agency. Health support services are delivered to frail elderly individuals in their homes or at the Nursing Center, free of charge, using an interdisciplinary case management model. In this model, case management is provided by graduate students and faculty with undergraduate students forming part of the health care team. This article describes the model and provides two case study examples that demonstrate its interdisciplinary focus, value as a training mechanism, and scope of case management services.
