CASE MANAGEMENT / COORDINATION OF CARE

CASE MANAGEMENT / COORDINATION OF CARE

Case Management/Coordination of Care is based on supportive interventions through which planning and coordination of services are carried out on behalf of the individual. It is designed to integrate multiple services needed or being received by the individual from the area program or from other agencies.

Case Management may include advocacy on behalf of the individual and monitoring the provisions of services to the individual. Within this context, case management assists an individual in meeting his/her total needs by linking the individual to evaluation, treatment, educational, vocational, residential, health, financial, social and any other needed services.

Case Management Services begin at the time the individual is accepted as a client and shall end at the end of client/agency relationship 

termination.

Case Management Activities: 

• Comprehensive assessment of the client’s treatment/habilitation needs or problem areas

• Allocation of responsibilities for implementation and monitoring of the treatment plan

•  Establishment of separate and joint responsibilities among staff and service agencies involved in helping the individual
