title: Case management: quality care today.
abstract: The literature demonstrates that the concept of case management offers quality, patient-centered care. Case management promotes the wise utilization of resources and has economic advantages. The benefits of case management are widespread. Everyone concerned with patient care is affected positively, including the patient, family, caregivers, and the facility itself. The benefits far outweigh the potential problems outlined in the literature, and these problems can be eliminated with proper education. The movement toward the use of case management makes good business sense. It will continue.
