Medical HIV Case Management

Statewide Standards for Medical HIV Case Management (Updated 2011, 2.5MB) support case managers to help individuals living with HIV to:

• Access medical care.
• Ensure medication.
• Resolve care issues.
• Develop their care plan.

Medical HIV Case Management describes services. These services support HIV positive clients to:

• Link with primary medical care.
• Obtain medication.
• Provide referrals to appropriate support services.
• Encourage adherence.

Primary activities link a person to primary medical care or services. HIV-positive clients may need secondary activities to meet their medical goals. These secondary activities must have a direct relationship to the client's HIV clinical outcomes.

The process of case management includes:

1. Comprehensive assessment of the client's needs.
2. Developing an individualized service plan.
3. Monitoring clients to assess the plan
4. Revising  the plan as necessary
5. Closing the case when appropriate.
