Future nursing graduates will face a challenge as they seek employment in a changing healthcare system. A managed-care system using community-based sites is the trend of the future, with economy of care as the norm. The authors describe one model for educating students to meet community mental health challenges. The chronically mentally ill have traditionally been underserved in the community, resulting in frequent and costly readmissions to psychiatric hospitals. Appropriately prepared graduates can successfully manage the care of these clients economically in the community. The integration of community mental health into the community health course group meets that challenge.
未来的护理专业毕业生在不断变化的医疗保健系统中寻求就业时将面临挑战。以社区为基础的管理式医疗系统是未来的趋势，以医疗经济为常态。作者描述了一种教育学生应对社区心理健康挑战的模式。长期患有精神疾病的患者在社区中传统上一直未得到充分服务，导致频繁且昂贵地再次入住精神病医院。准备充分的毕业生能够在社区中以经济的方式成功管理这些患者的护理。将社区心理健康融入社区健康课程组应对了这一挑战。
