    • Español
    Obra que presenta una fundamentación teórica, técnica y legal de Modelo de Enfermería Comunitaria de Enlace. La gestión de casos por parte de enfermeras ha sido explorada en diversas investigaciones, pero no existe un estudio detallado ni una descripción protocolizada "paso a paso" de su trabajo. En esta obra se presentan los fundamentos de su creación, la legislación que la ampara, la forma en que se organiza y los principios de su funcionamiento. Se propone, además, un protocolo básico para el desarrollo de la gestión de casos, y se analiza su impacto sobre los indicadores económicos y de resultados del sistema sanitario. Evalúa el coste económico de la puesta en marcha del modelo propuesto, y su efectividad según los indicadores económicos, de procesos y de resultados del sistema sanitario. Pese a estar dirigida especialmente a las enfermeras comunitarias de enlace, también resulta de interés para médicos y cuadros directivos tanto de la atención primaria como de la hospitalaria.
