Chronic Disease Management in the Community
This unit of study explores the impetus for change in conventional health service delivery and the issues related to providing health services for people with chronic disease. Nurses manage people with chronic and complex issues and, in doing so, need to develop their knowledge and skills in this area. Students explore issues in the management of clients in their care by understanding chronic disease, assessment and management. Themes in this unit of study refer to epidemiology, health assessment and collaborative case management.
