Key responsibilities of a Case Manager
6 key responsibilities of a Case Manager
When someone has experienced a traumatic injury they are often required to select a case management company. When they first contact us it’s a difficult time and they are frequently distressed. In addition, they don’t always really understand what they are looking for. Or even what case management means.
Case management services cover a wide variety of functions. This includes practical considerations, such as the co-ordination of rehabilitation and care. But case management doesn’t just take care of physical needs. A good Case Manager will provide emotional support for an individual and their family.
If you are seeking a case management company, for yourself or a family member, we’ve created a list of the most important responsibilities of a Case Manager. This summary aims to support you in your decision making. However, Breakthrough Case Managers offer so much more and play a vital role following life changing injury.
1. Make life easier for you and your family
A Case Manager’s role is to offer immediate reassurance, answer your questions and provide ongoing support. This starts from the very first meeting we have with you. And it lasts for as long as you need us.
For example, many people find that before they come to us, progress on their case is slow. We immediately get involved and work hard to speed things up. So, you get the results and the support you need as quickly as possible.
2. Be organised and organise everyone involved
Case management involves co-ordination with multiple parties. Including your insurers, solicitors and the Multi-Disciplinary Team involved in your rehabilitation and care. This integrated approach can also extend to anything from architects and builders working to adapt your home, to schools or vocational experts facilitating your return to education or work.
A good Case Manager will understand the role of all those involved. They will make certain your entire team works together and communicates effectively. They keep things moving and ensure you get the immediate and ongoing support you need when you need it.
