Abstract
The provision of nursing care is at risk, especially in rural areas. For ensuring nursing care there is a need for innovative care provision concepts that consider the specific conditions and specific needs of care in rural areas.
The aim of the study is to determine how innovative care provision concepts can strengthen/ensure local care provision in rural areas.
For the analysis three care provision concepts based on seven criteria were selected. A document analysis with selected studies, professional articles and authority documents was conducted for the three care provision concepts. Key factors for the provision of nursing care in rural areas were identified.
Innovative care provision concepts have to comply with three key prerequisites to ensure care provision: 1. the parallel practice of case management and care management in one local service concept, 2. the local arrangement of care provision concepts, 3. the link at regional level (municipality) of care provision concepts.
The parallel practice of case and care management in one care provision concept, the local arrangement and the link at regional level (municipality) of care provision concepts enable a continuing interdigitation of the analysis and targeted development of the local care provision infrastructure and strengthen the access to professional support for older persons (in need of care) and relatives respectively caregivers in rural areas.
