AB The objective of the present study is to assess the model’s impact on patients and theirfamilies in terms of outcomes and the efficiency results for the health system in Tenerife, CanaryIslands, selecting a period of eight years from the time interval 2002–2018. The employed indicatorswere collected on a monthly basis. They referred to home care and its impact on clinical outcomesand on the use of resources. The comparison between the indicators’ tendencies with and without theliaison nurse model was done with the F-test by Snedecor. All these tests are bilateral, with a level ofsignificance of p < 0.05. In those areas with community liaison nurse (CLN), improvements havebeen found in indicators that describe: (1) the management of the clinical status of patients, (2) theefficiency of the use of resources, and (3) the quality and compliance with the process that alsoincludes home visits and social risk detection and management. It can be said that in the basic areas ofprimary health care where the work of the CLN develops there are improvements in the managementof the patients’ clinical condition as well as in the quality and efficiency of care.
