The health care industry is changing and nursing case management is an integral part of restructured care in many institutions. Health care organizations must evaluate services and outcomes. The terminally ill comprise a large portion of patients in any health care delivery system. Hospitals that provide formal cancer care services need to evaluate where palliative care and hospice fit. Shifts in patient care will be evident due to changes in demographics, payor initiatives, and technological advances. Providing care for patients with advanced disease and the role of nursing have evolved over the past 10 years. One important area that has not changed is the passion and caring evident in the nurse's everyday practice.
医疗保健行业正在发生变化，护理病例管理是许多机构重组护理的一个组成部分。医疗保健组织必须评估服务和结果。在任何医疗保健提供系统中，绝症患者都占很大一部分。提供正规癌症护理服务的医院需要评估姑息治疗和临终关怀的适用情况。由于人口结构变化、付款方举措和技术进步，患者护理方面的转变将很明显。在过去10年里，为晚期疾病患者提供护理以及护理的作用都有所发展。一个没有改变的重要领域是护士日常工作中明显表现出的热情和关怀。
