Care management roles and responsibilities are frequently called out in leading white papers and exemplars; yet, the actual roles and responsibilities are poorly defined.
A qualitative content analysis using 6 landmark white papers and exemplars from national organizations to collect emerging care management and coordination roles and responsibilities.
Three major themes emerged from the content analysis: (1) care management is about complex systems and complex medical and social needs, (2) nurses are central to the interdisciplinary team, and (3) informatics is vital to support and enhance care management.
Care managers need to be experienced with complex systems of care as well as complex diagnoses and conditions that our clients and their caregiver's experience. A nurse being central to the clients and embedded within the interdisciplinary team aids in diminishing the burden of negotiating the trajectory of a condition/illness as well as improves the interdisciplinary communication and teamwork. This review of literature has defined the complexity of care management and the discreet roles and responsibilities, as well as how informatics is vital for care managers to target and monitor key populations needing care management.
护理管理的角色和职责在主要的白皮书和范例中经常被提及；然而，其实际的角色和职责却定义模糊。
采用定性内容分析法，利用来自国家组织的6份具有里程碑意义的白皮书和范例来收集新兴的护理管理与协调角色及职责。
内容分析得出了三个主要主题：（1）护理管理涉及复杂系统以及复杂的医疗和社会需求，（2）护士是跨学科团队的核心，（3）信息学对于支持和加强护理管理至关重要。
护理管理者需要熟悉复杂的护理系统以及我们的客户及其照顾者所经历的复杂诊断和病情。护士作为客户的核心并融入跨学科团队，有助于减轻应对病情发展轨迹的负担，同时改善跨学科沟通与团队协作。本文献综述界定了护理管理的复杂性、明确的角色和职责，以及信息学对于护理管理者针对和监测需要护理管理的关键人群的重要性。
