  • (1888PressRelease) October 19, 2013 - National Case Management Week is intended to applaud the work of case managers and their role in the continued care of patients. Case managers are responsible for patient education, overseeing transfer and discharge procedures and verifying that insurances are active and relevant to the patient, among a host of other things.

    The celebration extends to all members of the healthcare community, including hospitals and managed care organizations, just to name a couple. During the week, these healthcare entities sponsor educational events to raise awareness of the job that case managers do and their role in the care of patients and residents.

    The work that case managers do often overlaps with the work of social workers, who are more publicly recognized, leading to the work of case managers often going unnoticed. It is in this spirit of gratitude and respect that the healthcare community celebrates National Case Management Week.

    "The excellent work of case managers from all of the surrounding hospitals has really helped to make our residents feel loved and provided for in their transition to life here at Grandell. They are truly caring and hard working people and we're happy that the residents love talking with them. They make our residents feel really comfortable and happy, which is essential to our dynamic here," said Baruch Giberstien, Administrator at Grandell Rehabilitation and Nursing Center.
