Care management is a healthcare approach that involves assessing, planning, and overseeing the care of patients, particularly those with chronic illnesses or complex medical needs, to improve outcomes and reduce unnecessary hospitalizations. It is typically carried out by care managers, nurses, or social workers employed by hospitals, insurance companies, or specialized care management firms. The role often involves coordinating between providers, patients, and families to ensure adherence to treatment plans.
