Identifying and reducing risk of medical errors.
From assessment and planning to evaluation and outcomes, case management is a proactive process that provides access to quality, safe, effective, and timely care. Each step in the case management process, especially when undertaken by a qualified professional provider, may also provide an added and significant benefit-the potential to reduce or to prevent the risk of medical errors.
