What is case management?
Case management is a collaborative process of assessment, planning, facilitation, care coordination, evaluation, and advocacy for options and services to meet an individual’s and family’s comprehensive health needs through communication and available resources to promote quality cost effective outcomes. Case management serves as a means for achieving client wellness and autonomy through advocacy, communication, education, identification of service resources and service facilitation.What does a case manager do?
Case managers are advocates who help patients understand their current health status, what they can do about it and why those treatments are important. In this way, care managers are catalysts by guiding patients and providing cohesion to other professionals in the health care delivery team, enabling their clients to achieve goals more effectively and efficiently. Case managers help provide an array of services to help individuals and families cope with complicated situations in the most effective way possible, thereby achieving a better quality of life.

Multi-State Nursing Licensure. What’s next?
Current health care practices such as electronic / telephonic services and case management, along with an increasingly mobile US population, frequently require nurses to provide care and services to patients living in states other than their primary state of residence. A nurses’ primary state of residence regulates the nurses’ primary nursing license.
Nurse Case Managers providing nursing care and services in a state in which they are not licensed poses serious risk to the nurses’ license and to their employers.
The OMCMG has made a commitment to explore this critical issue. If you would like to be part of the conversation, please contact any board member for more information. Interested in Helping Pass State Legislation? Please consider contacting the Oregon State Board of Nurses and let them know you are interested in passing legislation in Oregon.
