Guided Care Model
The Guided Care® model consists of a Guided Care nurse, based in a primary care office, working with 2 to 5 providers and other team members to provide coordinated, patient-centered, cost-effective health care to 50 to 60 of their chronically ill patients. Our self-paced, online course prepares registered nurses to become Guided Care Nurses.
