Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model01:15

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic illness...

Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.
Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Area of Science:

  • Internal Medicine
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Modern medicine faces increasing complexity, particularly with patients managing multiple chronic conditions.
  • An aging population exacerbates the challenges in delivering optimal quality of care for complex medical problems.
  • Existing healthcare delivery models struggle to meet the needs of patients with multifaceted health issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the role of consultative general internal medicine in addressing complex medical care.
  • To highlight how these models can improve diagnostic accuracy and care coordination.
  • To discuss the potential of destination-type practices in integrative, patient-centric care.

Main Methods:

  • This is a narrative review synthesizing existing evaluations and models of consultative general internal medicine.
  • The review examines the structure, expertise, and patient volume variations across institutions.
  • It considers the impact of recent expansions in multidisciplinary care capabilities, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Main Results:

  • Consultative general internal medicine models synthesize evaluations, recommend testing and consultations, and integrate findings into cohesive care plans.
  • Variability exists in expertise, patient volume, and structure among these practices.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred opportunities for developing destination-type consultative practices.

Conclusions:

  • Consultative medicine is crucial for integrative, patient-centric care.
  • These models enhance diagnostic accuracy and coordinate multidisciplinary input effectively.
  • Clear communication of actionable care plans to local care teams and patients is essential for successful implementation.
