AAACEUS.com
supports Hospital Case Management as defined
by ACMA (the American Case Management Association):
"Case Management in Hospital / Health
Care Systems is a collaborative practice model
including patients, nurses, social workers,
physicians, other practitioners, caregivers
and the community. The Case Management process
encompasses communication and facilitates
care along a continuum through effective resource
coordination. The goals of Case Management
include the achievement of optimal health,
access to care and appropriate utilization
of resources, balanced with the patient's
right to self determination."
AAMCN (American Association of Managed
Care Nursing)
AAACEUS.com
supports Managed Care Case Management as defined
by AAMCN (American Association of Managed
Care Nursing) (www.AAMCN.org)
Care Managers are primarily patient advocates
striving to deliver the best care at the right
time and in the most cost-efficient quality
outcomes. Care Management is all encompassing
of the many roles that case managers have,
be it in
- an inpatient or outpatient setting,
- a home health setting,
- a workers' compensation setting,
- a managed care setting,
- disease management or
- a home-based setting.
All of these roles involve coordinated care
efforts that manage clients beyond a specific
"case" or "situation" and
provide them with a wide spectrum of services
directed at behavioral change and healthy life
styles, and optimal outcomes that last beyond
the "episodic" nature of the encounter
with the health care system.

America)
AAACEUs.com
also supports Case Management and Case Managers
as described in the CMSA (Case Management Society
of America's) Standards of Practice. These
Standards are intended to identify and address

of the case manager. The Standards seek
to present broad professional guidelines for
implementation and application within a spectrum
of case management practice settings and specialties.
