title: The "alpha" and "attending" case managers.
abstract: Case management has gone from episodic, to coordinating central arenas, to fragmentation, and back again. We must now-at least for complex, selected patients-look at a new (or old) method of case management. This column talks about traditional case management, use of an "alpha" case manager, and the "attending" case manager.
