Evidence-based practice is critical to the success of case management because it involves using the best available evidence to guide decision making and interventions. By using evidence-based practice, case managers can ensure that they are providing the most effective and efficient services to improve quality of life and eliminate health disparities. Eliminating health disparities and planning interventions for all citizens may be important goals, but they are not specific to the success of case management. Providing services for every citizen may not be feasible or necessary in some cases.
