Case Management Services
How Case Managers Can Help Me or My Loved One:
Case management is a collaborative process designed to meet the overall needs of patients through careful planning, coordination, monitoring, and evaluation of services. It is especially beneficial for seniors or those with complex health conditions. A case manager assesses a patient’s specific needs and creates a personalized care plan, coordinating various services such as medical care, social services, and support networks to ensure comprehensive care is delivered. They advocate for the patients’ best interests, ensuring they receive the appropriate services and support. Additionally, case managers continuously monitor the patient’s care plan, making necessary adjustments to improve outcomes, and provide guidance and support to patients and their families, helping them navigate the complexities of care options. This approach not only enhances the quality of life for patients but also contributes to more effective and cost-efficient care.
Patient and Caregiver Support
The Benefits of Case Management
Case managers are essential in assisting adult patients and parents/guardians navigate the complexities of the healthcare system. Through advocacy, coordination, education, and support, they ensure that individuals receive the necessary care and resources to achieve optimal health outcomes
Non-medical Drivers of Health
Beyond health care, patients often need help accessing essential services like transportation, housing, or financial assistance. Case managers play a crucial role in connecting patients with community resources and support programs to meet these needs.
Managing Complex Cases
For patients with complex medical conditions or those needing multiple specialists, case managers act as central coordinators. They ensure that all aspects of care are well-integrated and that communication among healthcare providers is seamless.
Transitional Care Management Services (TCM)
When patients transition from the hospital or emergency department (ED) to a community setting, they often need extra support to prevent readmission. Case managers can educate patients about new diagnoses or medications, help secure Durable Medical Equipment or Skilled Home Health services as ordered at discharge, and coordinate a follow-up visit with the primary care provider within two weeks of discharge.
