Less money spent on health services, cost-effectiveness, better productivity and more efficiency are some of the driving forces of contemporary "neo-liberalism" and political trends. How can nursing services and the profession's human values adapt in this difficult context? The authors describe the newest modality of patient care delivery system: nursing case management. They examine the factors and assumptions that led up to its development and point out the validity of asking some serious questions before embarking on the euphoria of case management.
在医疗服务上花费更少、成本效益更高、生产率更高以及效率更高，这些都是当代“新自由主义”和政治趋势的一些驱动因素。在这种艰难的背景下，护理服务以及该职业的人文价值观如何适应呢？作者描述了患者护理提供系统的最新模式：护理个案管理。他们审视了导致其发展的因素和假设，并指出在投身于个案管理的热潮之前提出一些严肃问题的合理性。
