Nurse Case Management in a Rural Parent-Infant Enrichment Program

Abstract

Nurse case managers assist families with children with special health-care problems to receive services. This article describes the families and services provided in a parent-infant enrichment program in a rural setting. The interdisciplinary program encourages a parent-provider supportive case management model based on a realistic assessment of the family's ability to actively participate in the case management process. The program empowers families to become advocates for their children.
