T1 I think we USED to see the h/c process as happening ONCE someone got ill--nowprevention is number 1 goal in h/c #RNchat3/16/2010 12:08
EllenRichter:
@rnchat T1 - H/c should be natural and promote natural processes. Sometimes I worrythat the emph in h/c is medications and cutting. #RNChat3/16/2010 12:08

In corrections we are moving from an episodic model to chronic care model. I don't likethe term but applaud the idea of a continuum #rnchat3/16/2010 12:10
