Disease relevance of Case Management

• CONCLUSIONS: Control of hypercholesterolemia in patients who have undergone coronary revascularization can be improved by a nurse case-management program [1].
• Pregnant insureds who volunteer to case management are referred to the Rose Bud Program, a premature labor prevention program that was developed by Northwestern National Life Insurance Company with Abbott Northwestern Hospital [2].
• OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to determine whether the case management of patients with recurrent hospital admissions for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can reduce hospital days without reducing quality of life [3].
• Eight themes in the HIV/AIDS case management process emerged from a 1998 study of 14 Ryan White Title I-funded case management programs in the New York City tri-county region [4].
• This evaluation project explored the role of the nurse clinician in population and case management at a large HMO in the Northwest United States. In Part I of this two-part series, a literature review, is presented on chronic illness, ambulatory nursing, expanded role nursing, and nursing in HMOs [5].

Psychiatry related information on Case Management

• The aim of this article is to examine the current status of case management in NHS community mental health care in terms of therapeutic impact and relevance [6].

High impact information on Case Management

• Patients in the nurse case management group had mean decreases of 1.7 percentage points in HbA1c values and 43 mg/dL (2.38 mmol/L) in fasting glucose levels; patients in the usual care group had decreases of 0.6 percentage points in HbA1c values and 15 mg/dL (0.83 mmol/L) in fasting glucose levels (P < 0.01) [7].
• Case management and plasma half-life in a case of brodifacoum poisoning [8].
• BACKGROUND: Algorithms for sexually transmitted infection (STI) case management were designed in a female sex worker (FSW) clinic in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, in 1993 [9].
• Recognition of isolates with what is presently the most frequent oxazolidinone resistance mutation may aid surveillance and individual case management [10].
• Since 1991, the Trail Community Lead Task Force has carried out blood lead screening, case management, education programs targeted at early childhood groups and the general community, community dust abatement, exposure pathways studies, and remedial trials [11].

Biological context of Case Management

• Nebraska Health Connection Access Medicaid's (NHC AM) public health nursing (PHN) population-focused practice model is designed to provide enrollment, education, and PHN case management interventions for the Medicaid Managed Care population [12].

Associations of Case Management with chemical compounds

• Reasons for improvement in mortality may include the implementation of a National Diarrhoeal Diseases Control Programme and improved case management; some 55% of cases of acute diarrhoea in Freetown now receive oral rehydration therapy [13].
• INTERVENTION: The experimental intervention supplemented methadone treatment with 33 sessions of family training combined with 9 months of home-based case management [14].
• The data are from the Philadelphia Target Cities quasi-experimental field study of standard versus "enhanced" (e.g. case management and added social services) drug treatment [15].
• Chloroquine prophylaxis, iron-folic acid supplementation or case management of malaria attacks in primigravidae in western Uganda: effects on maternal parasitaemia and haemoglobin levels and on birthweight [16].
• All groups were offered case management and iron and folic acid supplementation [17].

Gene context of Case Management

• Case management intervention strategies using community health workers to identify cases of pneumonia by counting respiratory rate and observing chest indrawing have been shown to reduce ARI-related mortality [18].
• To help elucidate the value of MEG, the authors have critically reviewed their experience with whole-head MEG in the case management of patients undergoing epilepsy surgery [19].
• Médecins sans Frontières, in cooperation with the Nigerian government, carried out an assistance programme (support to case management, surveillance and mass vaccination) in three states (Bauchi, Kano, Katsina) where 75% of cases occurred [20].
• STD case management was assessed by calculation of WHO/GPA prevention indicators (PIs) from observation data [21].
• Effectiveness of feedback for improving case management of malaria, diarrhoea and pneumonia--a randomized controlled trial at provincial hospitals in Lao PDR [22].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Case Management

• The use of a laryngeal mask and induction of anaesthesia with propofol in adjustable suture squint surgery facilitates early adjustment and thus day case management [23].
• Main treatment interventions were case management and out-patient counselling, detoxification, residential rehabilitation and methadone maintenance [24].
• Those recruited into the National Institute on Drug Abuse-funded treatment/research demonstration project were randomly assigned to either an enhanced group that received case management services or to a control group receiving standard methadone maintenance services [25].
• Myocardial perfusion studies continue to be a major focus of research, with new investigations of the relationship of exercise-redistribution thallium imaging to diagnosis, prognosis, and case management [26].
