Program Overview
School nurse-led case management (SNLCM) is one of the practice components of the Care Coordination principle of NASN’s Framework, which provides guidance for the specialty practice of school nursing (NASN, 2016b). As defined by NASN’s Framework, the practice component of case management is a collaborative approach to provide and coordinate school health services. Case management involves the child’s personal (i.e., student, family, specialty, community healthcare providers) and school (i.e., student, family, healthcare provider, student instructional support personnel) health teams. Case management strategies help deal with, prevent, and/or reduce the occurrence of health problems to find solutions inside and outside of school and traditional healthcare systems. This presentation describes SNLCM, as outlined in NASN’s A Model for School Nurse-led Case Management (2021), and its benefits for students. This model is intended to guide school nurses and school nurse leaders to outline the key components of SNLCM and to provide program implementation and evaluation strategies and tools. SNLCM assists students with health-related needs to successfully manage their needs, reduces barriers to academic performance, and increases student engagement. Participants will appreciate that SNLCM is an approach to caring for students with significant physical and behavioral concerns that reflects the full scope of professional school nursing practice.
