2017 Healthcare Benchmarks: Case ManagementIn this comprehensive analysis of Healthcare Case Management, 78 healthcare
organizations weigh in on the role of case management in the healthcare
continuum, from targeted populations and conditions to the advantages and
challenges of embedded case management to case management hiring and
evaluation standards, via responses to a July 2017 survey by the Healthcare
Intelligence Network.
Advice for newly hired case managers: “Don’t become overwhelmed by all
that needs to be learned. Strive for sure and steady progress in gaining the
knowledge needed.”
> Hospital/Health System
“[My most rewarding interaction was] seeing a patient’s face when I was able
to successfully acquire their medications for them at no cost. It was a look of
astonishment and disbelief. They were brought to tears.”
> Health Plan
“More time to resolve social issues, improve compliance and reduce ED
utilization [are advantages of embedded case management].”
> Hospital/Health System
“ Case managers get better results when they are able to connect with members
face to face. The connection is better between the two.”
> Health Plan

About the Healthcare Intelligence Network
The Healthcare Intelligence Network (HIN) is an electronic publishing company providing high-quality information on the business of healthcare. In one place, healthcare executives can receive exclusive, customized up-to-the-minute information in five key areas: the healthcare and managed care industry, hospital and health system management, health law and regulation, behavioral healthcare and long-term care.
Executive Summary
With each year, a larger swath of the healthcare industry comes to rely upon the skills of healthcare case managers to influence clinical, quality and financial outcomes. According to the 2017 Case Management Survey by the Healthcare Intelligence Network, the percentage of healthcare organizations enlisting case managers in care management rose from 88 percent in 2013 to 94 percent in 2017. Further, patients are much more likely to encounter a case manager in a provider’s office this year than they might have been four years ago. Two-thirds of 2017 respondents embed or colocate case managers alongside care teams today, versus 54 percent in 2013.
However, this jump in embedded case management has created more concern about integrating case managers into the care team; 28 percent of this year’s respondents reported integration as a CM challenge, versus 15 percent in 2013.Healthcare case managers in 2017 have larger workloads, managing monthly averages of 50 to 99 cases, according to 41 percent. In 2013, only 28 percent of case managers carried a workload of that size; juggling up to 49 cases was more the norm, said 31 percent at that time.
What hasn’t changed in four years is return on investment from case management, with ROI holding steady between 2:1 and 3:1 for 18 percent of respondents—in 2017 and back in 2013.
Case management rewards frequently exceed the financial, the survey found. Helping individuals identify and attain their health goals counts as one of the most fulfilling events in a case manager’s career, according to 2017 respondents. “Seeing a patient’s face when I was able to successfully acquire their medications for them at no cost” was one notable highlight, shared one. “It was a look of astonishment and disbelief. They were brought to tears.”
“Every case needs to be
independently addressed. There is no formula for
success.”

85% target case
management interventions
at populations with multiple
chronic morbidities.
“Advice for new CM hires: Develop a trust bond, almost as
a family member, and your medical-focused concerns will be that much easier to handle.”

Using This Report
This benchmarking report is intended as a resource for healthcare organizations searching for comparable data and means to measure implementation and progress. It is also a helpful planning tool for organizations readying initiatives in this area.
The initial charts and graphs presented here represent results from all respondents; images in subsequent sections depict data from high-responding sectors. (Figure titles include the segment they represent: for example, All, Health Plans, Hospitals, etc.)
Often, one of the largest responding sectors is composed of respondents identifying their organization type as “Other.” In general, we do not depict results from this segment because it represents a wide range of organization types, including consultants and product vendors. However, you will always find a graph indicating the demographics of respondents.
Here are some additional tips for using this report:
9 See how you measure up: Scan this report for your sector, and see how your program compares to others. Note where you lead and where you lag.
9 Evaluate your efforts: Think about where you have been focusing your efforts in this area. Look for trends in the data in this report. Look for benchmarks set by your sector and others.
9 Set new goals: Use the data in this report to set new goals for your organization, or to raise the bar on existing efforts.
