Integrated healthcare for chronically ill. Reflections on the gap between science and practice and how to bridge the gap

Integrated care offers an opportunity to address healthcare efficiency and effectiveness concerns and is especially relevant for elderly patients with different chronic illnesses. In current care standards for chronic care focus is often on one disease. The chronic care model (CCM) is used as the basis of integrated care programs. It identifies essential components that encourage high-quality c...

Metamodels to Bridge the Gap Between Modeling and Decision Support.

Immersion scenarios bridge the education-practice gap for new graduate registered nurses.

An education gap exists for new graduate registered nurses in mental health because of insufficient clinical experience. In an effort to bridge this gap, defined competencies and assessments provided the framework and direction for educational immersion scenarios with standardized patients. Kirkpatrick's (1995) model directed the evaluation of the learning achieved through the immersion scenari...
