This is the report of the Priority Expert Panel on Community-Based Health Care:
Nursing Strategies, one of a series of expert panels constituted by the National
Center for Nursing Research (NCNR)1 in conjunction with the development of the
National Nursing Research Agenda (NNRA).
The community-based nursing models priority specified by the 1992 conference on
research priorities was refined by the NACNR to include both rural and urban
research models. In its deliberations, the Priority Expert Panel convened by the
NINR to address this priority refined the focus even further in light of the
research literature available and future research needs. The title of this
priority was thus changed to Community-Based Health Care: Nursing Strategies,
reflecting the panel's emphasis on strategies, rather than models per se, and
the need for integrated health care delivery approaches that incorporate nursing
strategies. Addressing both rural and urban research needs in this area was a
particular challenge. With the concurrence of the Steering Committee, the panel
decided to address priorities with respect to all rural populations and to
underserved urban populations.
