Case Management: Roles, Models, and Effectiveness

Paper Summary:

This paper explores the reasons why case management has been determined to be an important element for the cost-effective improvement of patient health. It looks at the objective of case management, the defined roles of case managers, their functions and responsibilities, the various models of case management in health care systems and the differences in these models, and how case management affects patient welfare and economic variables. All of these aspects are explored with the intention of demonstrating the value of case management in the health care system.

From the Paper:

"In the face of continuing healthcare reform, it is crucial to examine strategies that will carefully balance high quality patient care with cost efficiency. The emphasis of primary care has become a priority due to the increasingly dependent elderly patient population. Services and care need to be provided that focus on prevention and patient empowerment for self-care, which ultimately improve health incomes as well as save financial resources."
