Case Manager Certification
Exam(Answered)
case management
the dynamic and systematic collaborative approach to providing and coordinating health
care services to a defined population.
- participative process to identify and facility options and services for meeting individual
healthcare needs while decreasing fragmentation and duplication of care and increasing
quality and cost effective clinical outcomes.
standards of care
parameters to measure the quality of healthcare
clinical guidelines
statements to help make decisions about health specific circumstances.
clinical pathway
structured multi-disciplined plan of care to support clinical guidelines and protocol to
improve continuity and coordination.
4 parts of clinical pathway
1. timeline
2. categories of care/activities and interventions
3. intermediate and long term outcome criteria
4. variance tracking
are 4 parts of what?
decision tree
used to select the best course of action in decisions where there is no clear decisions.
descriptive screening tool
identifies characteristics about a population to show health prevention.
predictive screening tool
shows what may happen to a specific population.
evaluative screening tool
evaluates the understanding/effectiveness
SF-36
predictive screening tool to assess functional health and well being. Assesses physical
and mental health.
- used in health economics, cost-effectiveness of health tx
-evals individual patient health status.
- does not consider sleep
-scored 00-100, lower score-> incr. disability
patient activation measure
13 item predictive screening tool to evaluate patient's knowledge, skills, confidence in
self-care.
- higher the score the better (scored 0-52)
-predicts health care outcomes, medication adherence and ER visits.
health risk assessment
, predictive screening tool: patient's self assessment of their health and how likely they
will seek care.
- predicts future health costs
- predicts likely-hood of progression of their illness to a worse condition.
- examples: PHQ-9, etc.
rose Q
health risk assessment for angina, MI, coronary heart disease.
defined angina pectoris as, "a chest pain or discomfort with these characteristics:
(a) the site must include either the sternum (any level) or the left arm and left anterior
chest (defined as the anterior chest wall between the levels of clavicle and lower end of
sternum),
(b) it must be provoked by either hurrying or walking uphill (or by walking on the level,
for those who never attempt more),
(c) when it occurs on walking it must make the subject either stop or slacken pace,
unless nitroglycerin is taken, (d) it must disappear on a majority of occasions in 10 min
or less from the time when the subject stands still."
Possible myocardial infarction1 was defined as, "one or more attacks of severe pain
across the front of the chest lasting for 30 min or longer."
seattle angina questionnaire
19-item self-administered health risk assessment for angina and functional artery
disease measuring five dimensions of coronary artery disease:
1 physical limitation, 2 anginal stability, 3 anginal frequency, 4 treatment satisfaction
and 5 disease perception.
-score of 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate better function (eg, less physical
limitation, less angina, and better quality of life).
arthritis impact measurement scales
health risk assessment: Disease-specific measure of physical, social, and emotional
well-being designed as a measure of outcome in arthritis.
-scales: mobility, physical activity (walking, bending, lifting), dexterity, household activity
(managing money and medications, housekeeping), social activities, activities of daily
living, pain, depression, and anxiety.
Score range: Range is 0-10 for each section. Total health score 0-60.
--> Zero represents good health status, 10 and 60 represent poor health status.
functional living index-cancer
health risk assessment: Cancer-specific, functionally-oriented quality of life instrument.
-22 items assessing 5 domains: Physical well-being and ability, emotional state,
sociability, family situation, nausea
- Higher score indicates better quality of life.
BASIS-32
health risk assessment: 32-item Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale. behavioral
health assessment tool.
- measures the change in self-reported symptom and problem difficulty over the course
of treatment.
- assesses: Relation to Self and Others, Depression and Anxiety, Daily Living and Role
