Medical case management is a collaborate process
that assesses, plans, implements, coordinates, monitors, and evaluates
the options and services
required to meet an individual’s health and vocational needs,
using communication and available resources to promote quality, cost-effective
outcomes.
VMS Medical Case Managers assist injured workers with personal and
environmental difficulties which predispose illness or interfere with
obtaining maximum benefits from medical care. The case manager works
in close collaboration with physicians and other health care personnel
in patient evaluation and treatment to further their understanding
of significant social and emotional factors underlying the patient’s
health problem.
In addition, the case manager helps patients through
conferences to understand, accept, and follow medical recommendations
and provides services planned to restore patients to optimum social
and health adjustment within the patient’s capacity. Furthermore,
the case manager utilizes community resources to assist patients to
resume life within their communities or to learn to live within the
limits of their disability. Finally, the case manager prepares appropriate
patient histories, service plans, and reports.
