Case Management Services

Case management (MH/SA TCM) is an activity that assists recipients to gain access to necessary care: medical, behavioral, social, and other services appropriate to their needs. Case management is individualized, person centered, empowering, comprehensive, strengths-based, and outcome focused.

 The functions of case management include:

• Case Management Assessment- A comprehensive and culturally appropriate case management assessment documents a recipient’s service needs, strengths, resources, preferences, and goals to develop a Person Centered Plan.

• Person Centered Planning- is at the center of self-direction and self-management. All good plans are done in partnership, where the case manager is the person who knows the requirements for a plan and what must be accomplished works in concert with the content experts who are those that know the detail of what the plan needs to say.

• Referral/linkage- Referral and linkage activities connect a recipient with medical, behavioral, social and other programs, services, and supports to address identified needs and achieve goals specified in the Person Centered Plan.

• Monitoring/follow-up- Monitoring and follow up includes activities and contacts that are necessary to ensure that the Person Centered Plan is effectively implemented and adequately addresses the needs of the recipient.
