Study Notes
Case Management: Historical, Current, and Future Perspectives
- Case management aims to provide patients with the highest quality of care while promoting efficient use of resources and services.
Historical Development of Case Management
- In 1991, the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) published a document stating that occupational therapists can serve as case managers.
- Research by Baldwin and Fisher (2005) found that occupational therapy programs paralleled the fundamental concepts of case management as defined by the Case Management Society of America (CMSA).
Definition of Case Management
- The CMSA (2010) defines case management as a collaborative process of assessment, planning, facilitation, care coordination, evaluation, and advocacy for options and services to meet an individual's and family's comprehensive health needs.
Role of Case Managers
- Case managers work alongside or in lieu of family physicians, offering additional explanation and coordination of healthcare for individual clients.
- They empower clients by providing relevant clinical information, support, resources, and resource management strategies.
- Case managers are expected to conduct comprehensive assessments, identify current and potential needs, and develop case management or clinical pathway plans.
Systems-of-Care and Strength-Based Approaches
- Current health policies emphasize the need for systems-of-care and strength-based services to provide integrated and coordinated care for patients with chronic diseases.
- Case managers implementing these approaches are expected to fulfill specific responsibilities, such as conducting comprehensive assessments and identifying client needs.
Confidentiality and HIPAA Regulations
- HIPAA regulations require a signed release of information from the client as a necessary step in protecting clients' and patients' rights.
- Professional collaboration is generally encouraged, but case managers must work within the ethical and legal realm of their scope of practice.
The Case Management Process
- Allied and clinical mental health case managers help clients progress through each phase of the case management process, considering the health status, needs, values, and wishes of clients, their families, and caregivers within the service-provider policy framework.
