Care Management
Care management is a team-based, patient-centered approach to care delivery. It is designed to assist patients and their caregivers in managing medical conditions more effectively.
Care management involves a range of activities that help achieve wellness and improve coordination of care, while providing cost effective and non-duplicative services. Implementing care management strategies enhances care quality, improves health outcomes, and contributes to efforts to control health care costs.2 Care management is increasingly viewed as a key area for financial and staff resource investment as well as a strategy for succeeding in a value-based care environment.
