It’s important to cover the GCU Domains and Competencies that were met. How will attending/participating in this scholarly activity help you grow as a DNP prepared nurse? 

Attending/participating in this scholarly activity will help me to grow as a DNP prepared nurse by providing additional understanding of the key differences between case management and care management. As a DNP prepared nurse, I must be able to effectively coordinate care for patients with chronic or complex conditions, and being aware of the differences between case and care management will allow me to select the best model for each patient’s unique situation. Additionally, it will further my knowledge of how healthcare systems function and the roles that different professionals play in coordinating patient care. This is especially important since I may have to collaborate with multiple providers who are utilizing different models of case or care management. By better understanding their approaches, I can more effectively work together towards achieving optimal outcomes for our mutual patients. The knowledge gained from this scholarly activity also aligns with several of GCU’s domains including Professionalism & Accountability (Seven Core Values), Leadership & Systems Thinking (Healthcare Policy & Advocacy) as well as Evidence-Based Practice & Applied Research (Evidence Informed Decision Making).
