Answer to Question 1

Disciplines other than nursing, such as social work, have discipline-specific definitions of case management. In addition, there is a consumer definition of case management that case managers work with people to get the health care and other community services they need, when they need them, and for the best value, which was promulgated as a communication tool to help explain case management to the public.
