Focus on case management: linking outcomes and accountability.

The ability of case managers to rely on the traditional intuitive appreciation for the value of case management is declining. Case managers must accept the challenge of identifying, measuring, and reporting their outcomes, and clearly link outcomes with accountability. Practicing case managers must be as familiar with outcomes measurement and selecting relevant measures as their managers. The Case Management Society of America (CMSA) sponsored the development of the Council for Case Management Accountability (CCMA) to provide leadership in the development of outcomes. The work and mission of CCMA includes the creation of the "Spectrum of Accountability" and sponsoring three "State of the Science" papers addressing key case management outcomes areas.

Case management programs: investment in the future.

A well-planned, proactive case management program that focuses on the identification and management of high-risk/high/cost patients can prove to be a valuable investment. FHP, Inc., implemented a pilot Patient Care Management program in the Long Beach/Orange County, California region. The program produced an estimated cost savings of nearly 4 million dollars in its first full year of operation. Results also included improved patient satisfaction, increased quality of care and decreased medical-legal risks. The program is currently expanding to all states where FHP has staff model operations. This article examines the steps utilized in the development of the program, and identifies keys to success.
