Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Team nursing,functional nursing,and case management are all considered efficient,cost-effective methods of care delivery because they enable utilization of various types of healthcare providers (rather than baccalaureate nurses in direct care,which is the primary nursing method).Case management is considered particularly cost-effective in patient care settings because it maintains quality care while streamlining costs for high-risk,high-volume,high-cost patient populations and seeks the active involvement of the patient,the family,and diverse healthcare professionals.
