As hospital case management departments have evolved and matured, leaders are required to evaluate models and roles. Typical roles have been department leadership, unit RN case managers and social work case managers, ED RN case managers and social work case managers. That foundation of hospital case the management staff has proven to be inadequate with the transition to multiple payers, additional rules and regulations, more complex patients, alternative payment methods and strategies by payers to deny more and more care provided to patients. These challenges compel leaders to evaluate specialty case managers, such as perioperative case manager, complex discharge planner, business case manager, appeals coordinators, transition case managers transfer center case managers and support to staff by clerical associates.
This webinar will discuss the need for specialty case managers in the hospital environment. The individual roles will be reviewed, as well as caseloads and their collaborative responsibilities in hospital case management. It will also assist the leader in identifying which of the specialty case managers might be helpful in their department to meet outcomes and ensure optimal processes.
