About Care Management in University of Missouri
Care management, also referred to as care coordination or case management, has become an essential role in improving the quality and value of care, reducing costs and utilization, and improving population health. Care managers practice in a variety of settings serving diverse populations. Care managers are often the hub of communication, connecting patients/families, and various members of the community and health care team to improve the management of complex physical, psychological, and/or social problems.
The Care Management program is an interdisciplinary online degree offered through the University of Missouri Sinclair School of Nursing with collaboration from other divisions including Health Management and Informatics and Social Work. This program supports preparation for national certification as a care manager through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (nurses), American Case Management Association (health care disciplines), and the Commission for Case Manager Certification (health care disciplines).
