Do automated wellness programs hold out the promise of improving the health of individuals and populations through the establishment of baseline wellness checkpoints? Nurse case managers have a strong interest in this question. The automation of wellness programs and the integration of this information into the continuum of a care information system model offers ongoing, interactive accountability of individual health status. The crowning glory will be the ultimate integration of the individual's personal health game plan with the provider's continuum of care offering. The strength of the nursing profession lies in its traditional role of promoting health through preventive measures (public health nursing) and managing the ill patient's progress toward his/her optimal health status. Therefore, nurses and nurse case managers should embrace wellness programs and wellness data availability. Because of their experience in using and understanding wellness data, nurses are in a unique position. Not only will they be able to assimilate rapidly the use of wellness data into their own practice, they also will be able to guide other professionals in its use. The table in this articles provides examples of the impact that automated wellness program data could have at various stages of the clinical decision-making process.
