Popis: With the current economic trend toward limiting programs, public health nurses must define their services and examine the cost effectiveness of their actions or interventions to maintain fiscal support. Prevention-oriented field nursing service is difficult to measure in relation to outcome and cost due to its qualitative nature and location in bureaucratic systems. The experience of a pilot study involving public health nurse activity in a federal preventive health program for children suggested steps for documentating impact and costs.
