Is it enough to just focus on clinical care and not look at support services, such as case management?
Probably not. We know that supportive services can enhance an individual s ability to adhere to his/her clinical care. If you provide both clinical care and supportive services you will need to assess the quality of both. If you provide only clinical services and refer your patients to other organizations for case management services you may want to assess the referral process and access issues. This would be a great opportunity to work collaboratively with another agency and promote continuity of care.
