Mike Newell - Author

In 1996, Michael Newell published Using Nursing Care Management to Improve Health Outcomes.  The book acknowledges nurses’ preeminence as case managers and focuses on linking nursing theory and practice to the role.  It describes an emerging, holistic form of case management, which sees the case manager throughout the continuum of care while maintaining costs and minimizing return trips to acute facilities.  The promotion of patient self-responsibility, wellness and caring are integrated into the coordinator/financial overseer role of the case manager.  Both the managerial and clinical functions of the case manager are addressed in this forward-looking book on an increasingly important aspect of nursing and health care delivery.





Reinventing Your Nursing Career:  A Handbook for Success in the Age of Managed Care, co-authored with Mario Pinardo, was published in 1998.   Addressing the fact that the health care revolution now underway has displaced hundreds of thousands of nurses, the book is a self-study manual on rethinking one’s career, setting personal goals, and planning and implementing a strategy to find a place in the future of healthcare.
