How to make a difference in the health care of a population. One person at a time.
Individual clinical and fiscal outcomes can be realized with implementing a community-based advance practice nurse case management program (CBCM) for a self-insured employer. The personalized partnership and interventions for high-risk, complex clients have proven to be the key for their self-management outcomes. The case management service was at no cost to the client. The cost savings came from the decrease in patterned utilization of total health care dollars.
