Care management theories

Care management theories focus on coordinating healthcare services to meet a patient's overall needs. They emphasize understanding the patient's physical, emotional, and social factors, and involve collaboration among healthcare providers, the patient, and often the family. The goal is to improve health outcomes, ensure efficient use of resources, and support the patient in managing their health long-term. These theories promote personalized, continuous care rather than isolated treatments, helping patients navigate complex healthcare systems and achieve better overall well-being.
