What is the difference between case management and disease management?
Case management targets high-risk patients--those who, because of diverse combinations of health, social and functional problems, are likely to need hospitalization. Disease management targets patients who have one major diagnosis and who, because of their major diagnosis, have a relatively
standard set of needs.
These tips are excerpted from The Gold Sheet, a newsletter addresses malpractice avoidance and
quality for NPs, published monthly by the Law Office of Carolyn Buppert.
