MEDICAL CASE MANAGEMENT
A range of client-centered services that links clients with health care, psychosocial, and other services. Medical case management ensures timely and coordinated access to medically-appropriate levels of health and support services and continuity of care through ongoing assessment of the client’s and other key family members’ needs and personal support systems. This also includes inpatient case management services that prevent unnecessary hospitalization or that expedite discharge from an inpatient facility. Key activities include: 1) initial assessment of service needs; 2) development of a comprehensive, individualized service plan; 3) coordination of services required to implement the plan and client monitoring to assess the efficacy of the plan; and 4) periodic definition reevaluation and adaptation of the plan as necessary over the life of the client. May include client-specific advocacy and/or review of utilization of services.
