Overview of the webinar
As hospital case management departments have evolved and matured, leaders are required to evaluate models and roles. Typically, all four roles of utilization management, care coordination, discharge planning and resource management have functioned at the bedside. With the challenge of lack of candidates to fill all positions, as well as the challenge of payers and rules, requirements and regulations, hospital case management leaders are evaluating the appropriate place for utilization management to reside.
There are challenges and advantages of each location for utilization management. As these decisions for hospital case management leaders have arisen, another entrance in the hospital case management realm has come in to being—Artificial Intelligence.
As these critical decisions are being made, leaders must determine the appropriate location for utilization management in their facility, as well as the best method for performing utilization management. This requires strategy, planning, appropriate roles, collaboration and optimal outcomes. These will all be discussed in the webinar.

Why should you attend?
With the focus on accuracy and efficiency in hospital case management, all four case management roles are being examined. These roles include utilization management, care coordination, discharge planning and resource management. The role that has the most intense scrutiny is that of utilization management. This role can be quite challenging as payers, especially manager Medicare and managed Medicaid payers have varying rules and regulations. These rules and regulations can change frequently.
As case management departments are challenged with ensuring all roles are filled and that all staff is working at the top of their license, both efficiently and compliantly, hospital case management leaders are evaluating the place where utilization management should reside—at the bedside……..or centralized?
This webinar will review both models of utilization management and give the attendee understanding of the pros and cons of each mode
