Description
At its core, school nurse-led case management (SNLCM) involves the highest form of application of the nursing process. While the focus is on students with chronic health conditions, SNLCM can also be applied to various social, mental, and acute health concerns of individual students or the student population as a whole (National Association of School Nurses [NASN], 2020a).

This manual describes SNLCM and its benefits for students. It is intended to guide school nurses and school nurse leaders who plan to implement SNLCM, to outline the key components of SNLCM, and to provide program implementation and evaluation strategies and tools.
