3. A tiered case management system comprised of three levels. The first level is designed to provide self-care support for the bulk of the population needing services. The second level of case management involves high-risk disease management and might be appropriate for brittle diabetics or women with high-risk pregnancies who require more intense services and more frequent monitoring. The third level addresses care of clients with complex needs who require a broad array of services such as the client with renal failure, anemia, and chronic pain from osteoarthritis. There is no fourth tier in the tiered case management system.
