Case Management

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that case management involves helping the patient find, access, and benefit from the medial procedures, treatments, and lifestyle solutions available to his or her particular needs. The author points out that case management, which usually is administered under the centralized direction of a case manager, is indicated for complex or chronic patients, including those in long-term or geriatric care, in order to insure that their unique and usually complex needs are adequately met. The paper relates that CCPED provides home and community-based services for Medicaid-eligible persons who are 65 years of age or older or persons of any age who are disabled, including traditional home health care services, medical day care, medical transportation, respite care, and social adult daycare.

From the Paper:

"Some examples of services that can be coordinated and supported through good case management is the creation of an individualized treatment/care plan, establishment of a connection between the patient and government support or benefits, education aimed at helping the patient manage his or her condition in a positive way, coordination between the many providers often required in complex, chronic or long term cases, as well as help in scheduling needed treatment or services."
