Why Should You Attend?

Case management report cards are an important tool in any case management department’s arsenal.  But before you develop a report card, you need to know which data elements you want to track and trend.  A comprehensive report card can become a tool for managing the staff and the department, as well as ensuring that the case management outcomes are communicated to all departments and disciplines.  Careful selection of the indicators, the benchmarks, and the targets will ensure that your department can show its impact on your hospital’s cost and quality outcomes and the bottom line!
