I ordered this book thinking that it would help me to develop and centralize case management in an insurance company. This book is really for non-medical hospital management personnel. The focus is on hospital case management only, with a side on home health as it relates to the discharged hospital patient. For what it is, I think the price is too high and I returned it.

Cherilyn Murer's "The Case Management Sourcebook: a Guide to Designing and Implementing a Centralized Case Management System," couldn't be more timely or accurate. Case Management has, for years, been either misunderstood or considered an added expense that produces no real value. Murer's straight forward approach on this complicated topic provides the reader with answers to questions that to date have been vague at best. Murer not only educates the reader on the concepts of case management, but provides an organizational structure that is both direct and functional. This is a must book for any executive facing the changes produced by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. This book and others written by Murer continue to demonstrate the quality and professiionalism of one of the "best of the best" in health related consulting. Thanks for the effort Ms. Murer.
