title: Nursing case management activities. How they differ between employment settings.
abstract: The diversity of case management approaches raises many questions. Are multiple case managers really required to duplicate each others' services, and if so, to what degree? How does the case manager actually "case manage" a client? How do the activities of the case manager in a direct care environment differ from case managers employed by case management companies or insurance companies? In this article, the author describes differences in case management activities in various employment settings.
