KJMC will celebrates National Case Management Week October 10-15. This
week is an opportunity to recognize the dedication, compassion and patient
care outcomes achieved by KJMC’s case managers across the health
care continuum.
The theme for this year is
“Case Management:
We Listen. We Care. We Lead,” which emphasizes the role that case management and transitions
of care professionals play in optimizing quality health care outcomes
while providing the best possible patient experience.
Our case managers provide collaborative clinical assessment, care coordination,
patient education, counseling, case monitoring/clinical pathway management,
discharge planning, resource management and patient advocacy.
National Case Management Week serves to bring awareness to the contributions
of our case management professionals and to recognize their value in delivering
quality and cost-effective health care.
During National Case Management Week, KJMC recognizes and supports the
practice of case management and promotes the visibility and understanding
of case management's role in the delivery of health care. Throughout
this week, local education, recognition and awareness events will be held
across the country.
