Today we will discuss on key benefits of multi case management. Multi case management enables the DIP to connect diverse processes, people and systems in its single web-based environment. Within this unifying environment, all stakeholders including police services, probation services, prison services and treatment agencies, can immediately access and share key client information. Multi case management includes so many key components like diary, to-do list, task-list, client database and so many things.
Key Benefits :
1. A large and powerful database making it very scaleable
2. A web browser look & feel (including your logo’s & colour scheme) making it easy to use and popular with users & agencies
3. No software needed at the user end, just an internet or network connection (most systems are hosted by us)
4. Very secure with limitless access levels & encrypted data
5. Industry standard making it simple to import data into (from DIRweb) or treatment providers databases
6. Workflow alerts and prompts adding to real continuity of attention
7. Data entry direct into system or via electronic versions of the forms you use
8. Will run on basic hardware and across very limited bandwidth - some DIP’s use Multi case management over mobile phone connections for true mobility. More…

Multi-Agency Case Management-1
Key components of Multi case management include:
Diary - A comprehensive, graphical and easy to use diary allowing staff and management to share appointment information. Each member of staff and each client have a diary which can be viewed by authorized staff (management being able to view group diaries). Manager of Vertical blinds and roller Shades Company, who are dealing with online faux wood blinds selling, say that all their employees always have a Diary on their desk. Their day start with opening of diary and end with closing of diary.
To-Do Lists, Task-Lists and Prompts - Staff are automatically prompted to act on designated diary incidents such as new client referred, review required, risk highlighted, client drug tested, client released, etc. Most of these tasks appear in staff to-do lists and/or case managers to-do lists. Staffs are also alerted when their presence is requested at a case or client meeting. Owner of Instant life insurance rates providing company says that to do list is compulsory for each of their agents who are providing Instant Life Insurance rates online.
Client Database - Multi case management includes a powerful and scaleable database, but which gives staff a very simple browser-based view of the client. This view allows authorized staff to drill down into any aspect of the client. It also enables the staff member to record any contact with the client such as substances used, risks assessed, follow up meetings arranged, objectives set etc., and capture subsequent outcomes. Another businessman says they are using CRM Software and Sales Force Automation software which helps them to keep their client database updated.

Philosophy of case management
Case management is an area of specialty practice within one's health and human services profession. Its underlying premise is that everyone benefits when clients (1) reach their optimum level of wellness, self-management, and functional capability: the clients being served; their support systems; the health care delivery systems; and the various payer sources.
Case management facilitates the achievement of client wellness and autonomy through advocacy, assessment, planning, communication, education, resource management, and service facilitation. Based on the needs and values of the client, and in collaboration with all service providers, the case manager links clients with appropriate providers and resources throughout the continuum of health and human services and care settings, while ensuring that the care provided is safe, effective, client-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. This approach achieves optimum value and desirable outcomes for all-- the clients, their support systems, the providers, and the payers. An owner of blinds company who sell vertical blinds and roman shades online. He says that philosophy of case management is a theory which helps him to build a long term relationship with their vertical blinds users. I talk with user of paperless office and crm software, they says that case management is the most important aspect of customer care and retention of customers.
Case management services are optimized best if offered in a climate that allows direct communication among the case manager, the client, the payer, the primary care provider, and other service delivery professionals. The case manager is able to enhance these services by maintaining the client's privacy, confidentiality, health, and safety through advocacy and adherence to ethical, legal, accreditation, certification, and regulatory standards or guidelines. The owner of premier inns who are giving luxury hotels service to customers says that they have a dedicated case manager to whom they call tour manager to keep their customer satisfied.
Certification determines that the case manager possesses the education, skills, knowledge, and experience required to render appropriate services delivered according to sound principles of practice.

Case Management-2
The Case Management approach assumes that clients with complex and multiple needs will access services from a range of service providers and the goal is to achieve seamless service delivery. This assumption highlights that the concept of Case Management is based in service provision arrangements that require different responses from within organizations and across organizational boundaries. Case management is described as a boundary spanning strategy to ensure service provision is client rather than organizationally driven.
Case Managers provide the coordinating and specialist activities that flow from the particular setting, program and client population. However it is usual to identify the following process as core to Case Management: screening, assessment/risk management, care planning, implementing service arrangement, monitoring/evaluation and advocacy.

Case Management-1
The principles that underpin Case Management are individualized service delivery based on comprehensive assessment that is used to develop a case or service plan. The plan is developed in collaboration with the client and reflects their choices and preferences for the service arrangements being developed. The goal is to empower the client and ensure that they are involved in all aspects of the planning and service arrangement in a dynamic way.
The Case Manager coordinates the process, consulting informal careers and key service providers to ensure that the plan is developed appropriately, clearly contracted and monitored for effective and financially accountable service provision based on specified and desired outcomes. The case manager and the organization are expected to maintain quality in service provision for individual clients and the wider target population. Online blinds shops who are selling roller shades and woven wood shades for them cash management is very much important as they are doing online business.
In clinical settings the case manager may also provide specialist services to address particular needs of the client. The Case Management approach assumes that clients with complex and multiple needs will access services from a range of service providers and the goal is to achieve seamless service delivery. This assumption highlights that the concept of Case Management is based in service provision arrangements that require different responses from within organizations and across organizational boundaries.

Case Management
Case management is a collaborative process of assessment, planning, facilitation and advocacy for options and services to meet an individual’s health needs through communication and available resources to promote quality cost-effective outcomes.
The definition of case management notes the focus upon the meeting of a client’s health needs. Within the Australian context, case management can be placed within a social model of health. This framework allows for the client and case manager to work on the various aspects of the client’s life that influence the client’s health. A social model of health is described as: A conceptual framework within which improvement in health and well-being are achieved by directing efforts towards addressing the social and environmental determinants of health, in tandem with biological and medical factors.
First and foremost Case Management is a service delivery approach now widely adopted across diverse settings in the human services and health sectors. The best practices in Case Management require organizational arrangements to support service delivery, staff who have been trained for the approach and its application to the particular practice setting and strategies to ensure that the organization can be responsive to evidence from practice and advocate for systemic and policy change to support service delivery.
