Case management can reduce costs and protect revenues.
In order to reduce costs, improve quality, and protect revenues, an integrated healthcare system should depend heavily on a case management program that provides continuity of care across all clinical settings for an entire episode of illness or injury. In addition, such a program should move homogeneous, uncomplicated groups of patients quickly and cost effectively through the healthcare delivery system and determine why other patients are not able to move through the system as quickly and effectively.
