Patient safety has become a key issue in health care since the Institute of Medicine (IOM)1 released the report To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System. This landmark report examined the extent of preventable patient injuries and deaths occurring in US hospitals. It was estimated that between 44,000 and 98,000 people die annually as a result of medical errors and that nearly half were preventable. Subsequent studies2 suggest that the medical error rate is even higher. These statistics are a call to action for case managers to explore creative ways to implement patient safety practices in their systems and procedures.

Discharge planning resources change frequently, and keeping them current, available, and accessible to case management (CM) staff and others is a challenge. Given the time-consuming and labor-intensive nature of updating, many organizations revise them in preparation for the triannual survey or when they are hopelessly out-of-date. The reality is that CM staff and others involved with discharges have their own personal “little black book” of resources. Those personal reference tools are treated with reverence and guarded like the family Bible.
Organizations are challenged to have up-to-date resources available and accessible for staff in all areas. One approach is to transform the traditional paper-based manual into an electronic document and make it available on the organization's intranet. This approach means that each page of the current paper-based manual must be in electronic format, ending the use of overcopied resources that become difficult to read and “grandfathered in” to each successive edition of the paper manual. This option permits easy and rapid updates when resources and information change.

The escalating health care costs attributed to high-risk populations have fueled a need for a proactive approach to deal with people affected by complex mental health issues that often coexist with chronic medical conditions. Through an in-home behavioral health case management (CM) program, patients with mental illnesses (some with coexisting medical conditions) receive integrated medical and mental health services through a disease-management approach that has proven effective in treating high-risk patients.
