Abstract

The purpose of this 1-group, retrospective case study was to analyze the expanded role of registered nurse care coordination (RNCC) on health outcomes in a primary care setting in its real-life context. The convenience sample consisted of 244 adults diagnosed with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and/or hypertension. Secondary data entered into the electronic health record by the health care team during patient visits pre- and post-implementation of the RNCC program were analyzed. Clinical findings suggest that RNCC may provide a valuable service. Additionally, financial analysis demonstrated that the cost of the RNCC position was both self-sustaining and revenue producing.
