CASE MANAGEMENT
1. Though the case management programs involve a balance of patient needs to make the process cost-effective, it implements the policies to utilize the resources in a best possible way of utilization to suit the individual needs of the patient (American Academy of Case Management, 2016). The cost reductions are mainly aimed to improve the quality of care. It matches the available resources to the requirements of the patients to improve the quality of patient care.
