This ongoing research incorporates over 20 years of data, offering invaluable insights into the evolving landscape of case management, transitions of care, and physician advising.

This essential data empowers organizations to assess their team structure, optimize case management models, and align salaries with industry standards.
The Physician Leaders in Care Management Survey provides invaluable insights for physician advisors by delivering comprehensive data on critical aspects of their roles. This survey highlights trends in outsourcing physician advisor services, allowing leaders to make informed decisions about resource allocation and operational efficiency. Additionally, it presents physician-specific KPIs, such as denial reduction and the volume of cases reviewed, which are essential for assessing performance and improving patient care. Furthermore, the inclusion of information on physician advisor certification underscores the importance of credentials in enhancing the credibility and effectiveness of these professionals. By leveraging this data, physician advisors can better align their strategies with industry standards, ultimately driving improved outcomes for their organizations and the patients they serve.
The latest findings from the Case Management and Transitions of Care Survey provide essential information for case management practices and transitions of care. This comprehensive data covers a wide range of topics, including the services provided by inpatient case management, departmental size and composition, and staff experience levels. By analyzing salary data by role and region, organizations can ensure competitive compensation and attract top talent. The survey also delves into staff workloads, performance measurement, and effective readmission interventions, which are critical for improving patient outcomes. Additionally, they highlight challenges faced by case management leaders, training strategies for new case managers, and issues related to turnover and hiring. With insights on case management certification, remote work, and the roles of ambulatory, telephonic, and physician office-embedded case managers, these findings empower organizations to optimize their care coordination efforts and support the growing demands of accountable care organizations (ACOs). By leveraging this valuable information, case management leaders can enhance their strategies and ultimately improve the quality of care provided to patients during transitions.
