CASE MANAGEMENT
Case Management is a tool used to promote strategies and initiatives to improve the health status of employees, reduce health costs for employers and reduce overall staffing costs incurred with employee absences. Case Management brings uncoordinated efforts together. It cuts across corporate and medical departments by allowing simultaneous communication. Fairweather’s Case Management program is supported and staffed by CarePlan ♥ Case Management Service’s Registered Nurses. CarePlan ♥ is an Alaska based company with a thirteen year history of serving many of Alaska’s largest companies.
