Why does a patient need a case manager?

The healthcare system is extremely complex and difficult to navigate, making it hard for most people who need medical care and mental health services to get the proper care they need in a timely manner. A case manager is highly knowledgeable and skilled at navigating the healthcare system, finding the correct forms and paperwork, identifying the correct doctors and healthcare organizations, facilitating communication between clinical staff, loved ones, and community agencies, and advocating for you when you need it. This also includes ensuring access to health services (transportation), health education, and securing financial assistance to cover the costs of healthcare.

What are the different levels of case management?

Case management typically has four levels, including:

1. Intake — where we gather information, identify immediate needs, establish a relationship with patients, and find out how they can benefit
2. Needs Assessment — pinpoint key problems and issues, establish goals, communicate challenges with patients
3. Service Planning — outline actions to achieve goals, develop a timeline, determine ways to measure progress
4. Monitoring and Evaluation — monitor success metrics, focus on quantifiable data

What skills do good case managers have?

At Health Services of North Texas, we strive to ensure all our case managers have an exceptional degree of knowledge and expertise to help our clients navigate the healthcare system and remove barriers to care. In addition, our case managers prioritize empathy, understanding, organizational and advocacy skills, good communication skills, patience, and the ability to adapt to changing situations. These qualities help us be more effective in understanding your unique needs and providing the help you need.

At HSNT, our professional case management team can offer you assistance on the recommendation of your practitioner. When you come in for a visit at any of our locations, ask your provider if case management is an option. Our case managers can be a beneficial resource for your health and well-being.
