Case Management Program

Would a patient of yours benefit from a follow-up phone call or home visit? Could he use additional education on his disease or help navigating the complex issues of health insurance? GRIPA physicians can request the support of a nurse/social work case management team for the following services:

• 1:1 case management/education
• home visits
• phone monitoring
• community referrals
• health plan programs/services
• group medical visit for education
• medication - related issues
  
  

The team can augment patient education, assist with continuity of services, increase patient compliance and improve patients’ ability to self-manage their own care.

Nurses, clinical pharmacists, and social workers are available to meet with physicians and staff, as a team or individually, and provide flexibility in services that best meet the needs and schedule of your office practice.

Taking a whole look at the patient’s world

Our case management professionals take a comprehensive view of a patient’s care. They know that something as mundane as a ride to the pharmacy can make or break an otherwise well-crafted plan of care. They regularly:

• Assist with the continuity of services by increasing coordination and communication among the primary care provider, ancillary providers and the patient - Caregiver, financial, transportation, and psychosocial issues.
• Increase patient compliance with the physician plan of care - Adherence with medications, treatment, and follow-up.
• Augment patient education provided by primary care provider and staff - Facilitate linkages with community resources and health plan programs for chronic disease management.
• Assist in providing optimal and cost-effective pharmaceutical care - Save patients money on their medication expenses, streamline medication therapy, prevent potential adverse drug events, and research drug information and medication-related questions.
• Improve patient ability to self-manage health and disease through education and monitoring - Compliance with general and disease specific preventative services.
