Care management is an enduring process in which a manager establishes systems and
monitors the health status, resources, and outcomes for a targeted aggregate of the
population. Case management is defined as a collaborative process of assessment, planning,
facilitation, care coordination, evaluation, and advocacy for options and services to facilitate
an individual’s and family’s comprehensive health needs through communication and
available resources to promote quality cost-effective outcomes. Disease management
constitutes systematic activities to coordinate health care interventions and communications
for populations with disease conditions in which client self-care efforts are significant.
Demand management seeks to control use by providing clients with correct information and
education strategies to make healthy choices, to use healthy and health-seeking behaviors to
improve their health status, and to make fewer demands on the health care system.
