A complete examination of the application of continuum of care, The Case
Management Workbook defines the roles of the case management team and provides
an overview of key post acute venues of care. The authors demonstrate that
the case management team includes many more individuals than simply those with
the title of case manager. The team must consist of key clinical personnel including
the nurse, the physician and the case manager, each of whom have specific roles in
case management. The book highlights the role administration plays in assuring
each member of the team is on board with the hospital's or health system's goal in
assuring the patient is at the right place at the right time in their episode of care.
