The unpredictable health care forces.
The role of the global citizen requires an understanding of the unpredictable health care forces, ethical and legal issues, and socio-cultural sensitivity. Reflect upon your role as a global citizen and share two examples of how your global perspective has expanded throughout your BSN journey. After taking BSN440: Case Management, how has your knowledge base changed in terms of the Case Manager’s role in community-based nursing? How does the Case Manager navigate through each layer of healthcare to ensure the patients’ well-being? What is the difference between a Case Manager and a Disease Navigator?
Support your discussion and opinions with facts, relevant examples from personal nursing practice, and at least two citations from the reading or peer-reviewed professional nursing literature. Remember to use APA Manual (6th ed.) formatting for all discussion posts in-text and reference citations
