The English phrase "nurse case manager" is translated into Spanish as enfermero gestor de casos.
This phrase refers to a registered nurse who coordinates a patient's long-term care and manages their medical services. In many clinical settings, you may see the term gestor de casos used independently of the word for nurse if the professional's role is already understood from the context.
How does it change in a sentence?
