Development of a case management plan for aortoiliac bypass graft surgery patients.
Case management can reduce health care costs of the aortoiliac bypass graft surgery patient by eliminating unnecessary services, preventing duplication of services, and preventing costly readmissions in high-risk patients. This can be achieved through use of a case management plan that incorporates critical pathways, perioperative clinical nurse specialists as nurse case managers, ad hoc group practices, and patient and family participation.
