Description
Efrat Shadmi and co-authors test nurse led care management for adults with multiple chronic conditions, in work from twenty twenty-six. People with several long term illnesses strain primary care, and proof of what helps them is thin. The program tested here pairs each patient with a nurse care manager.
More than twelve hundred patients joined a two year trial across intervention and usual care clinics. At one year, no firm gaps appeared between groups. At two years, the program group had fewer unplanned hospital stays and fewer quick readmissions. Self rated health and function were also tracked. The authors back the model as sustainable and scalable in primary care. Longer gains, not quick wins, defined the result.
