Case Managers in the Primary Care Practice: Tools, Assessments and Workflows for Embedded Care Coordination
Dear Healthcare Executive,
On the road to practice and clinical transformation, early adopters are testing a retooled care delivery model that capitalizes on case managers embedded in the primary care practice. In just a short time, these colocated care managers are generating promising ROI — as much as 2:1 in one early pilot — and impressive spikes in practice efficiency, volume and quality of care.
Case Managers in the Primary Care Practice: Tools, Assessments and Workflows for Embedded Care Coordination examines two parallel East Coast efforts in embedded case management: Nurse
Navigators in Bon Secours Health System's Advanced Medical Home program, and Nurse Case Managers at the heart of CDPHP's Enhanced Primary Care effort.
Following in the footsteps of Geisinger Health System's embedded case manager model, both initiatives are driven by the same core desire to move from a provider-centered to a patient-centered model. This
restructuring aims to utilize all staff members at the highest levels of licensure, reduces waste and improves care quality and access for patients and health plan members. Both organizations say the model is helping
to reduce hospital readmissions and ER visits and tighten transitions of care for high-risk patients.

The 50-page Case Managers in the Primary Care Practice: Tools, Assessments and Workflows for Embedded Care Coordination documents development and rollout strategies and results from two
similarly sized pilots of embedded case management:
Bon Secours Health System Advanced Medical Home: Robert Fortini, Bon Secours VP and chief clinical officer, describes how RN nurse navigators are helping to transform care during a three-phase
Advanced Medical Home program. Implementing retooled workflows, nurse-driven protocols and selection of homegrown tools and indices, Bon Secours hopes to effectively double the capacity of its 350 physicians in
80 Virginia locations while improving the health of its patient population.
CDPHP Enhanced Primary Care: New York-based CDPHP has enlisted private practices to pilot its two-part Enhanced Primary Care program. Lisa Sasko, MA, MBA, CDPHP director of clinical
transformation, and Charlene Schlude, CDPHP director of case management, share details on a pilot that encompasses both payment and practice reform. Ms. Sasko covers new reimbursement strategies, PMPM
savings and quality gains generated by the effort, while Ms. Schlude details the philosophy, framework and practicalities of embedded case management, including schedules, case loads, hiring, program costs and
lessons learned.
Case Managers in the Primary Care Practice: Tools, Assessments and Workflows for Embedded Care Coordination also provides details on:
PLUS the Q&A chapter answers more than 30 questions on the patient-centered activities of these two organizations.
