Does anyone know of a great article regarding the fact that CDI and CM should not be melded together? One will certainly fail.

    If you find one, please share. I do both at times and it is very difficult.

    My research project for my Master's degree was concerning case management models and their impact on 30 day readmissions for AMI. I don't have an article that indicates that they shouldn't be combined roles, but I have an article that describes that combining roles requires very high functioning in both UR and CDI. That model does not work well unless the staff are very experienced in both roles. Otherwise, the program will not be as strong as a program that UR and CDI and separate and distinct.

    Thank you. That is my point. Would you please share the citation?

    The article I referred to is The State of the art in CM models by Toni Cesta. It was published in hospital case management February 2012. Likely I have other articles regarding CM models if this doesn't meet your needs. My email is kshumper@communityhoward.org.
