The Philosophy behind Case Management
The philosophy of case management is grounded in the belief that the improvement and independence of a patient benefit all involved parties, including the patients themselves, their support teams, healthcare providers, and others. Case management's goal is to foster clients' independence and wellness through education, advocacy, service facilitation, communication, and resource identification. Case managers play a crucial role in identifying necessary providers and facilities, ensuring effective resource utilization for maximum value for both providers and clients. Effective case management thrives on open, direct communication among clients, case managers, and service personnel.
