Featured Initiative:
Care Management Plus
patients at risk
for complications and worsening of their
health are referred to a care manager. The
care manager-in consultation with the
patient, family, physicians, and other
health care providers-assesses the
patient's needs, creates a care plan, and
acts as a catalyst to make sure the care
plan occurs. Care managers help patients
and caregivers to self-manage their disease and navigate the health care
system.
Information technology (IT) systems
complement the role of the care manager.
IT tools include a tracking database,
patient summary sheet, and electronic
messaging systems. Reports are
generated for ongoing assessment and
administration of a care management
program.
