    Shifting from hospital to community due to growing the importance of community-based holistic care provision had been common in developed countries. While it is critical to know whether improving community- based nursing care provision really make health status of residents better, no previous studies provide the answer to this question. Therefore, we tried to assess patient outcomes generated by nurse-led intervention through the pooled information of health status and provision density of intervention by national database.

    After descriptive and econometric analysis, we found that the more total number of physician (engaging quasi primary care) increased in community, the more total score of Life-Related Disease (LRD) increased but mental illness decreased. In contrast, the more total number of community nursing services (home visit nursing) increased, the more holistic awareness of bad health status in population decreased. However, we could find no evidence of both professions’ contribution on easing mental stress in community population. Further, both in physician and nurse provision, geographic attribute like high population density have strongly negative impact on population’s better health. In spite of several limitations, our study suggested the requirement of re-building closer relationship between physician and nurse in community for making health status of community residents.
