OVERVIEW:
Having a foundation for effective case management is critical. This five-part series will cover solutions for many of the challenges faced by case managers today.

The series will first discuss key stakeholders and the integral role they play in the rounding process. Next, there will be a discussion on how to incorporate case management at all access points to your hospital or health system. This will be followed by the often-challenging subject of how to best collaborate with physicians, especially high-volume ones such as hospitalists and emergency department physicians. The series will then review how to remain forward looking in your practice.
