  • care management (procedure) - The coordination of the care process for . It aligns with a structured framework encompassing the cycle of assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and monitoring/evaluation.

How would nurses interpret the meaning of these types of concepts?

Thanks all,

In summarising the February call discussion (from the recording/discussion log) using the example provided in the topic post, the response provided by the group was:

  • Airway management covers the clinical establishment and direct management of airway patency, including the clinical decisions required to maintain it.
  • Airway care management refers to the ongoing, coordinated care of an established airway, focusing on routine maintenance, monitoring, and care processes rather than airway intervention itself.

These align with

  • Management → clinical maintenance decisions
  • Care management → organised, ongoing care activities
