Caregivers need the right information at the right time in the right format to provide the highest quality of care. Case managers interact with the clinician, the patient and the payer to ensure that the services delivered by the healthcare organization are appropriate, of the highest quality and are reimbursed at the appropriate levels.
To best meet hospitals’ needs and infrastructure, 3M provides two case management products that integrate case management, social services, resource management and discharge planning to link an entire enterprise and give staff the ability to quickly identify issues that impact denial management and length of stay.
"…What’s been good for the patient has also been good for the hospital’s bottom line."
— Linda Haywood, RN, MS, director of HIM at Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg
