"An on-site approach to case management—placing case managers where the patients and health plan members are— is having a dramatic impact on healthcare quality and spend at a time when healthcare organizations need to be at the top of their value-based game. The Caldwell Memorial Hospital embedded approach to care management offers valuable lessons for those companies ready to relocate their case managers across the care continuum."
