Adaptation of the case management care plan to each client's characteristics is a crucial skill for standardizing the process and outcome of care.It links multiple provider interventions to client responses and offers reasonable predictions to clients about health outcomes.Institutions report that sharing case management plans with clients empowers the clients to assume responsibility for monitoring and adhering to the plan of care.Case management plans should link the care that is provided together and involve multiple providers.Case management is part of the standard of care that is provided and does not provide an additional expense to the client,although it may cause an additional expense to the agency.Disease management,not case management,focuses on the natural progression of the disease.
