Interactive Care Model Published

The O'Neil Center, GetWellNetwork's research arm, published its Interactive Care Model (ICM) in the October 2015 issue of the Journal of Nursing Administration. The ICM outlines steps providers can take to help patients and families become more fully engaged in the management of their health.
