Case Management

A model of health care for chronic patients, based on Case Management and guided by a nurse which targets the patient´s risk. The core elements of this strategy are: a. processes to identify specific population and their risk; b. evidence-based practice guidelines according to risk (higher risk, more interventions and monitoring by a nurse, lower risk, higher emphasis on self-care); c. Practice models based on collaboration between health team members leaded by a nurse; d. self-management education for patients; e. monitoring patients face to face or by telephone to ensure to follow the care program (blood test, medical consultation, for example); e. measurement of process and outcomes.
