Study Notes
Case Management Responsibilities
- Case managers are essential in assessing individual client situations and addressing identified needs and problems.
- Responsibility includes creating treatment plans and finding payment sources for care, although diagnosing patients is not part of their role.
Purpose of Intake Assessment
- The intake assessment aims to develop an accurate profile of the client's issues, focusing on their specific problems rather than their social life.
Resource Planning Considerations
- Case managers should avoid involving family members suspected of client abuse when planning care; alternative resources can include peer support and social service agencies.
Individualized Treatment Plans
- An effective treatment plan must prioritize the individual's strengths and personal goals instead of merely streamlining for efficient group care.
Linking Clients to Services
- Case managers connect clients to social services that assist in implementing agreed-upon goals, addressing significant issues collaboratively identified by both the manager and the client.
Ongoing Client Support
- After linking clients to necessary services, case managers must continue monitoring their progress and advocate for their needs, rather than closing the case or prioritizing other service workers.
Assignment of Case Managers
- During intake interviews, agencies assess client needs to assign the appropriate level of case manager based on their specific situation, rather than automatically assigning the most intensive case manager.
Therapeutic Interventions
- Case managers contribute therapeutically by teaching life skills that enhance clients' effectiveness in daily life, rather than providing psychotherapy or medications directly.
Advocacy Within Managed Care Organizations (MCO)
- As representatives of clients, case managers are responsible for advocating for services deemed beneficial for the client, even while balancing concerns about cost control.
Resiliency Model of Case Management
- The resiliency model emphasizes recovery and a productive life for clients, shifting perceptions from deterioration to focusing on personal choices and strengths in building meaningful lives.
