Case management evolves: asthma care points the way

AHIP Coverage

Abstract

Case Management was once a simple administrative matter--an insurance adjuster managing a workers' compensation claim. Today, case managers with nursing, social work, or vocational rehabilitation backgrounds work directly with physicians, hospitals, home health agencies, nursing homes, and other organizations. Case managers now coordinate the health care needs of patients with chronic conditions like asthma or diabetes and patients with catastrophic medical problems such as cancer or severe burns.
