Sustainable nursing case and care management in the cross-border region
Care Management (CrM) is concerned with the system & care control, which coordinates and organizes across cases and institutions needs oriented support in social- and health care and demonstrates structural prerequisites for it. This superordinate perspective & competence is missing in existing organizational forms of case management (CsM) (e.g. discharge management, CsM mobile care providers) in order to keep the balance between humanity and economics. The aim of the CaRe project is the development, regional piloting and evaluation of a superordinate crossinstitutional
CrM office, which serves as a regional contact point & counseling center for the system & care management of elderly people in need of care and their caring relatives. The benefit is demonstrated in the relief to hospitals, outpatient providers, the public sector and funding agencies through the creation of an innovative CrM office that provides sustainable management & coordination of care quality & cost-efficiency. This leads to a regional change in the program area. A cross-border communication campaign provides result dissemination, such as a CaRe web platform, which makes the resulting concepts & services (training curriculum, a.s.o.) known to the public at large. The added value lies in the network of local care providers, networking within the program area & creation of a CrM office, and its planned implementation into standard operation.
