Annals of translational medicine, 2017

The current phase of development of health services is characterised by multiple changes that affect the organisational models of primary production lines (hospital, clinics, etc.) and the method of use by users. The clinical governance is a "strategy by which healthcare organisations are responsible for continuous improvement in the quality of services and achievement-maintaining high professional standards, stimulating the creation of an environment that fosters professional excellence".

Defining Case Management in Community Support Systems (1986)

International Journal of Psychosocial Rehabilitation 01/1986; 9(3):56. DOI:10.1037/h0099137. Abstract. Discussions about the development of case management components of community support systems have been fraught with terminological and rhetorical ambiguity and confusion. To overcome this we need a clear conceptual framework. Two clarifications are presented: (1) a functional analysis of services that fall under the rubric of case management, and (2) a constituency analysis of the conflicting interests that state agencies, providers, families, and consumers have in what case management should be. Acknowledgement of this framework, especially the standpoint of families and consumers, will help program planning and systems change in the area of case management.

Case Managers and Integrated Care

Handbook Integrated Care, 2021

This chapter on case management starts with a case story about Julia, a person with dementia, and her case manager, John (Sect. 25.1). It shows six innovations which are necessary to introduce case managers. Julia and John live in the year 2025, in a rich western country with a health system that supports integrated care by means of adequate financing and digitalization of care. Section 25.2 introduces a definition of the concept of case management and discusses important terms in it. Then (Sect. 25.3), two specific competences of case managers are discussed: (1) the assessments of care and social needs and (2) empowering interviewing of clients. The chapter continues (Sect. 25.4) with the comparison of the "ideal world" in the case story in 2025 with the real world in 2015 by focusing on case management practices in the Netherlands and France. The chapter ends (Sect. 25.5) by offering theories to support the implementation of the case manager. The chapter emphasizes that case managers not only are for clients with dementia but are relevant as an approach to support other people with health, educational and financial problems; clients with developmental disorders; patients with severe mental illness; patients with cancer and metastases; and persons with more than one chronic condition. In this chapter, the words clients, patients and persons are used as synonyms occurring in different care contexts.
