Cost-effectiveness of a nurse-led case management

The objective of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a nurse-led, home-based, case-management intervention (NHI) after hospital discharge in addition to usual care. In conclusion the authors do not recommend the implementation of this intervention in populations that do not consist of severely vulnerable and complex patients.
