Care Management (CM)

Updated over a month ago

Care Management (CM)

Care Management (CM) supports the administration of clinical, behavioral, and social programs for members across all risk profiles. It enables program-based interventions, task orchestration, and multi-channel member engagement driven by real-time data signals and intelligent rules.

Key Features

Task-Driven Case Management

Member interactions and other case supporting activities are managed through tasks, which are generated based on workflows, program rules, and user actions.

Tasks are units of work, such as call member, complete assessment, review lab. CM includes support for tasks, including the following:

  • Due dates and reminders

  • Task escalation and re-assignment

  • Task pause and resume

  • Tasks can be created manually or generated via:

  • Program logic

  • Clinical Intelligence Engine rules

  • External API triggers

Program Configuration

CM includes support for condition-specific and population-wide programs, including support for overlapping, mutually exclusive, or staged programs. It also features a rules engine for determining eligibility and triggers based on diagnosis, utilization, and behavioral patterns. Program logic includes entry and exit criteria, auto-close rules, and activity triggers.

Programs can be configured for:

  • Chronic condition management (e.g., diabetes, COPD)

  • Maternity care

  • Behavioral health and substance use

  • Post-discharge follow-up

  • Social determinants of health (SDOH) screening and referral

Assessments and Clinical Content

CM includes configurable, logic-based assessments supporting eligibility screening, behavioral health evaluations, and follow-up risk assessments. CM supports scored and unscored assessments, and available configurable logic includes branching questions, conditional scoring, and threshold-triggered alerts.

Outreach and Engagement

CM features guided care journey orchestration through a next-best-action model driven by data triggers and historical engagement. CM supports both digital and telephonic programs – or a hybrid approach – as well as the ability to pause and resume a journey.

Outreach occurs via call, SMS, email, or portal-based interaction across channels that include the following:

  • Phone call tasks with documentation templates

  • SMS/email via campaign engine

  • In-app educational content

Content includes assessments, reminders, education, and next-best-action nudges. Automated nudging is based on a behavioral science-informed journey builder that provides always-on outreach campaigns. Triggers for automated nudges include event timing, data signals, and historical engagement.

Roles and Teams

CM allows you to configure access and workflow logic for such roles as care managers, supervisors, behavioral health clinicians, and social workers. You can create team-based assignment rules and reassignment workflows, along with integrated alerts and notifications for collaboration.

Reporting and Monitoring

CM includes the following features for reporting and monitoring:

  • Member reach rate and engagement outcomes

  • Task completion trends and SLA adherence

  • Program effectiveness and enrollment KPIs

  • Risk segment performance and case complexity scoring

Compliance and Security

CM is designed with compliance and security in mind. All actions are logged in an audit trail. PHI access is governed by role-based controls. All messaging is encrypted. Assessment and documentation storage meets HIPAA and HITECH compliance regulations.

Additional Features and Capabilities

CM also includes the following features and capabilities:

  • Comprehensive Person View (CPV): Centralized view of all tasks, authorizations, interactions, and assessments.

  • Timeline: Chronological visual history of interventions, documentation, and data triggers.

  • Smart Alerts: Notifies care teams of gaps, needs, or conditions requiring outreach.

  • Real-Time Data Reaction: New claims, labs, or admission-discharge-transfers (ADTs) can activate new tasks or reroute journeys.

  • Custom Programs: Ability to set up custom program logic, assign resources, and define clinical content.
