CASE MANAGEMENT

The Session Long Project for this course is to evaluate and critique a health care facility you are familiar with and compare it to the general principles and standards for quality assurance presented in this course.

In the earlier modules you identified a health care facility for the subject of the SLP and presented a description of the facility and it’s quality assurance program. You also critiqued the facility’s Continuous Quality Improvement program and the Utilization Management Program.

In this module you will discuss and critique the subject facility’s Case Management program.

• Determine if the facility’s quality assurance program results in the patients being helped to maximize their health care benefits.
• Identify areas for improvement in the facility’s Case Management program, if any, and any recommendations you think should be implemented to improve the quality of patient care.
