Multi-Agency Case Management

Business & Decision has worked with many DIP’s, Drug Action Teams and treatment providers and developed a multi-agency case management solution to assist them in their operations; to increase case management, demonstrate performance and enable best practice when sharing data. Multi case management is a unique and powerful web-based case management solution that enables clients to be tracked through their cycle of interventions and maintain a continuity of treatment and/or attention. Multi case management can track and record key client information in relation to:
1. Objectives, actions and outcomes of client meetings
2. Treatment modalities
3. Court appearances
4. Arrests and prison sentences
5. Identification of risks and issues
6. Drug usage, prescriptions
7. Other social care interventions

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.

Where is Case Management used?
Case Management has been adapted to a wide range of settings including community care for the aged, and people with disability and mental health issues; acute health settings; injury management and insurance related areas; correctional services; court systems; in the management of chronic health conditions; child and youth welfare; at risk populations in schools; managed care and employment programs.

Who are the Case Managers?
