The Visiting Nurse Association of Albany, Inc., believes that the role of case manager can be readily assumed by the primary care nurse, whose comprehensive knowledge of patient and family ensures quality assurance through increased continuity of care. However, as federal and state regulations and the increased acuity level of patients have changed the scope of basic case management, the VNA has had to redefine agency case management expectations.
