Case Management nursing
Collaborative process that assesses, plans, implements, coordinates, monitors, and evaluates options and services to meet an individual’s health needs through communication and available resources to promote quality, cost-effective outcomes
Coordinates care through an episode of illness
The focus is on individual clients, not populations of clients.
Managing Care with Case Management #1
Case managers often manage care using critical pathways and multidisciplinary action plans (MAPs) to plan patient care.
The care MAP is a combination of a critical pathway and a nursing care plan, which indicates times when nursing interventions should occur.
All health-care providers follow the care MAP to facilitate expected outcomes.
If a patient deviates from the normal plan, a variance is indicated.
PRINCIPLES OF CASE MANAGEMENT (ATI CHAP 2, P25)
Case management focuses on managed care of the client through collaboration of the health care team in acute and post acute settings
The goal of case management is to avoid fragmentation of care and control cost
A case manager collaborates with the interprofessional team during the assessment of a client’s needs and subsequent care planning, and follows up by monitoring the achievement of desired client outcomes within established time parameters
A case manager can be a nurse, social worker, or other designated healthcare professional. A case manager’s role and knowledge expectations are extensive
Principles of case management continued
Therefore case managers are required to have advanced practice degrees or advanced training in this area.
Case manager nurses do not usually provide direct client care
Case managers usually oversee a caseload of clients who have similar disorders or treatment regimens
Case managers in the community coordinate resources and services for clients whose care is based in a residential setting
Principles of case management continued
A critical or clinical pathway or care map can be used to support the implementation of clinical guidelines and protocols. These tools are usually based on cost and length of stay parameters mandated by prospective payment systems such as Medicare or insurance companies
