Case managing end-of-life care has never been more complex. A patient’s quality of life, and the needed attention to pain and suffering, have always been of the highest importance. Events such as the opioid epidemic, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and persistent health disparities across different populations have forced the industry to take a fresh, trauma-informed look at how care and treatment at the end of life is considered, assessed, and rendered. Ethical, legal, and financial factors are industry priorities, with case managers juggling these moving parts daily.

End-of-Life Care for Case Management will serve as an essential resource for case managers. The book will provide in-depth education on:

• ACEs impact on morbidity and mortality
• Dedicated counseling interventions
• Ethical parameters of practice
• Health disparities and the social determinants of health
• Interprofessional regulations
• Legal determinations and documentation
• Patient and family dynamics
• Patient engagement and activation strategies
• Population health impact of end of life across the life span, LGBTQ, and mental health
• Reimbursement and revenue cycle management
• Treatment team dynamics

The book will educate those at all levels, from students working their way into the industry to veteran case managers. End-of-Life Care for Case Management will enhance learning through the provision of case scenarios and contemplation questions.
