Case management is a component of school nurse practice that provides an opportunity to demonstrate the contribution that school nurses make to the health and academic success of children, particularly children with chronic health conditions. However, case management programs vary in their mission and scope, leading to confusion about what it means to be a case manager. Many programs acknowledge the difficulty in tracking outcomes and sustaining results. Using a capacity-building approach, the Case Management Project (CMP) developed a definition of case management and a set of baseline and outcome measures to assist school nurses to become effective case managers and track their outcomes.
