Medical Case Management
Medical case management is a process of cooperation between medical professionals to assure the most appropriate medical care for impaired, disabled, ill, or injured individuals. Often, our clients have many doctors, each looking at one small part of their care. Medical case management involves a skilled medical professional looking at the "big picture" of the client's overall health and medical care to assemble the pieces of the treatment team into a powerful machine focused on providing the optimal care for the entire patient. The lifetime value of medical case management is immeasurable.
For many of our clients, navigating the maze of medical specialists required for complex care can be confusing and frigtening. There are often neurologists, physiatrists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, psychologists, orthopedic specialists, physical and occupational therapists, internists, pediatricians, surgeons, and any bewildering number of other medical professionals, who may or may not be communicating effectively with one another or with the patient at the center of their efforts. REKINDLE™ Vision's medical and case management services empower our clients with a skilled medical professional looking at the "big picture" of overall health and quality of life, while working with other members of the treatment team to make sure that continuous total care is provided.
