The Case Management program is offered by Kaiser Permanente to support members with complex medical, psychosocial, and care management essentials.

In my interview with Stacy she says, “A case managements goals was to meet the needs of the individuals and the families” (Downing, 2015). It all ultimately depended on the situation and how long you have known the family that you typically access the patients and use those challenges to develop a plan in which the patient has helped you formulate. The goal is to in a therapeutic way engage the patient and their families in their own plan or progress in which working within their skill level and readiness to change and build upon the current

The treatment planning process helps the client select the level and intensity of treatment that works best for them. When planning treatment the counsellor can consider preferences and the services available. The treatment plan may change over time but it provides a focus for ongoing support.

Case management is not a lifetime service. With the lack of funds available for all the clients in need of service often times termination of service is the only option. In this paper we will examine the process a case manager goes through when termination of services occurs. We will also discuss how independent care will help in continued client growth.

The health and social care act 2001 says that there is an importance to involve and to consult service users/ patients which can help shape and create their own care plans. Which can result in more and more individuals who are suffering from a mental health issue/ problem can access the services as they won’t feel like they are being discriminated against. The mental capacity act 2005 and the mental health act 2007 says that the reason behind involving service users is to overcome some initial barriers of the more traditional services and this was outlined in some of the current developments that are happening within these laws. The mental capacity and mental health act shows that there will be the removal of the standard traditional service so they can move forward and introduce a more approachable service which enabled service users and communities to become more

This program has different types of level of care, such as residential, outpatient, inpatient. The clients can conduct unlimited length of treatment, and it serves children, youth, and adults.

What I understand of case management is that it helps Social Workers in helping their clients, meaning social workers take actions to manage the various aspects of cases they are working on. Case management is also a shared process of assessment, planning, facilitation and advocacy for decisions and services to meet an individual’s need through communication and available resources. Case management examines the person’s physical, emotional, environmental state, and promotes quality and cost-effective outcomes. In addition, in Case management the worker helps to empower the clients to become self-sufficient. Moreover, Case management is structure into six principles

Case management has seen rapid growth and expansion over the past decade, securing it a strong foundation in many hospitals and outpatient programs. The use of integrated case management models allows the populations that are served to continue to grow and expand to reach further vulnerable clients and their families. ICM has been found to not only be successful for individuals diagnosed with HIV, but also prisoners in the justice system, the homeless population, and young children and their families navigating difficult custody issues (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2008). It also enables individuals from multiple disciplines to collaborate when it comes to a client’s care plans and their needs. This allows case managers and

The author states that the best way to set up an intervention plan for our clients is “to start with the client. Ask the client about what it is that he or she wants to work on” (Ward & Mama, 2006, 131). The author suggests that we may see the obvious things that the client wont and that we should see if it would be an interest for them to work on it as well. (Ward & Mama, 2006, 131) But that we should wait until the end of our meeting after the client has told us what they want to work on. After we have done out intervention plan the author explains that we need to take our plan to our supervisors and explain the client and the presenting issues and goals to them so that they have sense

According to IC & RC, Case Management is defined as, “activities intended to bring services, agencies, resources, or people together within a planned framework of action toward the achievement of established goals. It may involve liaison activities and collateral contacts” (Herdman, John W., 6th Ed.). Case management is a concerted effort of various professionals in the human social services network that assess’, plans, implements, coordinates, monitors and evaluates options required to meet the client’s health and human service needs. It is characterized by advocacy, communication, resource management and promotes quality cost-effective intervention outcomes. The Case Management Process centers on the client and the client’s support system. It is holistic in its approach to the management of the client’s individual and specific situation and that of the client’s support system. It is adaptive both to the case manager’s practice setting and to the healthcare setting in which the client receives services. Case management is not a profession unto itself however; it is a cross-disciplinary and interdependent specialty practice within the health and human services profession. Everyone directly or indirectly involved in healthcare benefits when healthcare professionals and
