A book written by two Murer Group executives offering practical and comprehensive help for health care managers is being released this week by McGraw-Hill Publishers. The Case Management Sourcebook, written by Cherilyn G.

The book provides a road map for understanding, developing and implementing healthcare case management. Complete with case studies and forms that can be used, the book offers practical help for health care managers. Specifically, the book discusses the importance of case management in the continuum of care, how good outcomes positively affect reimbursement and different models of case management. The book also details the legal, cost and expectation-in-care decisions a management professional must make.
