Description
Comprehensive review of health system changes that have led to the development of patient assistance and support through case management
Discusses how to more effectively and efficiently manage patients with health complexity in meeting the challenges faced by treating practitioners and their health systems
Provides a lexicon and clinical tools, including the integrated case management-complexity-assessment grid (ICM-CAG), that lead to improved health while reducing healthcare service use
Improving the outcomes for patients in our changing healthcare system is not straightforward. This grounding publication on case management helps physicians better meet the unique needs of patients who present with poor health and high healthcare-related costs, i.e., health complexity. It details the many challenges and optimal practices needed to work effectively with various types of case managers to improve patient outcomes. Special attention is given to integrated case management (ICM), specifically designed for those with health complexity. The book provides a systematic method for identifying and addressing the needs of patients with biological, psychological, social, and health-system related clinical and non-clinical barriers to improvement. Through ICM, case managers are trained to conduct relationship-building multidisciplinary comprehensive assessments that allow development of prioritized care plans, to systematically assist patients to achieve and document health outcomes
