Leveraging Interprofessional Team-Based Care Toward Case Management Excellence

With case management so closely linked to the fiscal imperatives of organizations, engagement in IPTBC is a necessity for every practice setting. Poor team collaboration contributes to unsuccessful outcomes for clients, increased costs, and concerning quality and risk management issues for the organization. The latest generation of value-based care initiatives and complex population health needs (e.g., social determinants of health, co-occurring physical and behavioral health) translates to greater pressures on case managers to maximize financial risk and attain their share of financial incentives (e.g., bonuses, shared savings) by avoiding readmissions, preventable complications, and duplicate services.
