Abstract
Case management, as defined by the Case Management Society of America, is a collaborative process that assesses, plans, implements, coordinates, monitors, and evaluates options and services to meet an individual’s health needs through communication and available resources to promote quality, cost-effective outcomes (Ahrendt, 2006). The case management profession was initiated in North America in the early 1900s within the field of community mental health. Case management providers were public health nurses who coordinated patient services. After World War II, case managers were employed to help coordinate care for servicemen who required multiple medical specialties to optimize their recovery. In the private sector, insurance companies began to employ nurses to manage health insurance claims for complex cases. As the practice of case management grew, other professionals were brought in to provide neuro-rehabilitation case management (Fitzsimmons, 2003).
