Abstract

Objective: To describe the role of nurses in the integration of care for people with chronic noncommunicable diseases. Method: This was an integrated single-case study conducted with care coordinators and nurses, purposefully selected, with interviews, documentary analysis and computerized files as sources of evidence.
