Case management
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Case management is an area of practice within several healthcare professions. Most case managers are nurses or social workers.
The Case Management Society of America defines case management as:
- "a collaborative process of assessment, planning, facilitation and advocacy for options and services to meet an individual's health needs through communication and available resources to promote quality cost-effective outcomes."[1]
Most nurse case managers work in hospitals or at health maintenance organizations.
