Abstract
Case management has been operationally defined in many ways, depending on the model and the needs of the population. This article describes a multidisciplinary resource utilization model of case management in a geriatric acute care medical unit that differs from many nursing- and protocol-driven case management models. The author discusses the design, implementation, and outcomes, which include improved quality of care, decreased length of stay, improved financial results, and increased physician compliance.
