AbstractIt's no longer a luxury for hospitals to have case managers in their emergency departments, according to some case management experts--it's a necessity to make sure patients are admitted in the proper status and to ensure that those being discharged from the emergency department have what they need to manage their conditions. Hospitals need to ensure that patients meet medical necessity criteria to avoid losing reimbursement. Case managers can help provide a smooth transition from the emergency department back to the community and connect patients with post-discharge services. Case managers can work with patients who frequently utilize the emergency department and educate them about more appropriate venues of care.
