HIV Case Management

HIV Case Management is a client-focused strategy that provides cost-effective, medically necessary services to enhance beneficiary health status and level of functioning.

The goals of HIV case management are to:

• Improve an eligible beneficiary’s access to a wide range of appropriate services
• Promote continuity of care by coordinating service delivery arrangements
• Enhance a beneficiary’s health status and level of functioning
• Promote efficiency by reducing or containing the overall cost of services

HIV case management is not intended to be an ongoing service. It is a short-term, goal-oriented service tailored to meeting the specific immediate needs of the beneficiary. It is designed to empower clients through education, referrals and facilitating access to care, assisting clients to gain the tools needed to be their own advocates and navigate the health care and social services systems to improve health outcomes.

HIV case management core components include:

• Assessment
• Care planning
• Resource development
• Service coordination
• Monitoring
• Reassessment
• Discharge
