Guide to Embedded Case Management

Dear Healthcare Executive,

Care coordination is at the core of value-based healthcare delivery models like the patient-centered medical home and the accountable care organization (ACO). Healthcare case managers embedded within the physician delivery system help to put a face on care coordination while reducing readmissions and improving quality of care for high-risk populations such as dual eligibles.

About half of healthcare organizations embed or co-locate case managers at points of care, according to 2012 market research by HIN.

The Guide to Embedded Case Management provides a primer on the development and implementation of a co-located case management effort, with advice on startup, launch and operations from Aetna, Bon Secours and CDPHP on their embedded case management programs and the benefits they have derived from on-site case management.
