title: The need for information-based practice in case management.
abstract: For case management, information-based practice is not only important but mandatory in the current competitive healthcare settings that require "cutting-edge" knowledge of clinical research, business administration, managed care principles, and quality and cost-effective standards of practice. Obtaining case management-related electronic information through the Internet and CD-ROM computer databases can provide critical tools to obtain this knowledge quickly and promote higher quality practice of case management.
