Case management is a coordinated approach to delivering care that focuses on coordinating and managing care for individuals with complex medical conditions, disabilities, or multiple healthcare needs. It is a collaborative and person-centred process that involves the active participation of case managers, healthcare professionals, and the individual receiving care.
Complex case management is particularly beneficial for people with complex health conditions, disabilities, traumatic injuries, or other unique care needs. It helps coordinate care, improve healthcare outcomes, enhance the individual’s quality of life, and ensure that resources are used efficiently.
THE ROLE OF CASE MANAGERS
Case Managers are appointed to help coordinate and oversee a person’s care package. These skilled professionals specialise in managing, coordinating and overseeing the care and support of people with complex medical conditions or care requirements.
They advocate for their clients, ensuring that all aspects of their physical, psychological, and social well-being are considered and addressed. Some of their roles and responsibilities include:
- Care Planning: Case Managers work with the individual, their family, and a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals to develop a personalised care plan that meets all of their client’s holistic needs.
- Coordination: Case Managers coordinate all aspects of care, ensuring that healthcare services are delivered promptly and efficiently.
- Advocacy: Case Managers advocate for the individual’s best interests so that they receive appropriate and high-quality care.
- Monitoring and Evaluation: Case Managers continuously monitor the individual’s progress and adjust the care plan as needed. They track outcomes, address any issues that arise, and ensure that care remains aligned with the individual’s wishes whilst optimising budgets.
