HIN Publishes Free Downloadable E-book on Benefits of Embedded Case Managers
"Evolution of the Embedded Healthcare Case Manager" is a free downloadable e-book from the Healthcare Intelligence Network documenting the emerging trend of the colocated case manager.
December 8, 2011
SEA GIRT, NJ, USA —
Embedding case managers at points of care is the latest weapon in the battle against fragmented care delivery and high costs associated with poorly managed chronic illness. To chronicle this emerging trend, the Healthcare Intelligence Network has published a free downloadable e-book, "Evolution of the Embedded Healthcare Case Manager."
In recent months, Aetna, Advocate Physician Partners, Marshfield Clinic and others have also announced plans to embed case managers in primary care practices. These organizations often cite the experiences of Geisinger Health System, one of the early adopters of the embedded case manager model.
While the practice is relatively new, Geisinger and others are reporting dramatic reductions in hospital readmissions, length of stay and patient cycle times, among other benefits.
Content Overview: This free e-book presents the latest industry benchmarks on this population health management strategy as well as a look at how Geisinger Health System, Bon Secours Health System, CDPHP and others are colocating case managers at points of care.
Target Audience: CEOs, medical directors, physician practice leaders, business development and strategic planning directors and consultants; directors of case management programs.
"In separate 2011 surveys on the patient-centered medical home and healthcare case management, we observed that a case manager was frequently part of the care team in the medical home, with primary responsibility for the management of care transitions and patients with chronic illness. This case manager is frequently co-located in the primary care office."
