Abstract
Significant advances in psychiatric nursing science have been made in the 1990s. While a limited amount of nursing research has been published, those in print indicate the advanced practice psychiatric nurse provides quality and cost-effective care that is realizing substantial savings for treatment of the severely mentally ill population. Advanced psychiatric nurses are in a strategic position to respond to the paradigm shift in mental health care, exemplified by increased patient acuity and decreasing funds for treatment, by combining their services in the role of case manager. Further research on the role of the psychiatric nurse practitioner as case manager, and defining patient populations where they are most effective is indicated, in order to develop more cost-effective mental health case management models in the current health care arena.
