This week is an opportunity to recognize the dedication, compassion and quality patient care outcomes achieved by case managers across the health care continuum. The theme for this year is:
“Case Management: Exceptional People. Exceptional Care.”
Case managers provide collaborative clinical assessment, care coordination, patient education, counseling, case monitoring/clinical pathway management, discharge planning, resource management and patient advocacy.
Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital has 15 case managers and 87% are certified RNs. The significant contributions of our case managers impact our ability to provide the best patient care possible, positively affecting the patient experience while promoting best practices and cost-effective outcomes.
Join me in thanking our Case Management team this week as they continue to provide excellent service to our patients and families.
