What is Medical Case Management?

“Medical Case Management is a collaborative process of assessment, recommending, planning, coordinating and implementing multi-disciplinary medical services to promote quality and cost effective outcomes and to achieve the best possible treatment and rehabilitation”.

Medical Case Management services ensure that patients receive the appropriate medical care while maximizing cost savings. Medical Case Management team coordinates care for medical procedures, suggests treatment options and monitors ongoing medical treatment.

Medical Case Management is a service delivery approach and provides comprehensive care. Case management’s potential is only beginning to be explored as patients and health insurance companies continue to search for ways to contain cost while retaining quality.

The Case Management process provides an opportunity for the physician and the case management staff to combine their expertise and resources to provide the most efficient, high quality care required to meet the patient’s needs. The collaboration between these parties can produce quality patient outcomes.

Medical Case Management begins with the evaluation and reassessment of the patient’s medical condition, usually with the revision of laboratory and radiology tests. Then, once the best course of action has been decided, the case management team will coordinate medical resources and develop and implement an all-encompassing plan of care.

Throughout this process each individual’s progress is carefully monitored and constant communication between the case management team and the patient ensures that all healthcare needs are being met to ensure ongoing quality care.
