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.
