From a practical viewpoint, the close relationships among utilization review, quality assurance/improvement, infection control, discharge planning, social services, and medical records makes it impossible to separate them. Case management combines these traditionally isolated hospital functions into one department in order to perform many related functions simultaneously. It provides a much more effective and efficient method than can be accomplished by the traditional institutional approach.
从实际角度来看，利用审查、质量保证/改进、感染控制、出院计划、社会服务和医疗记录之间的密切关系使得将它们分开是不可能的。病例管理将这些传统上孤立的医院功能整合到一个部门，以便同时执行许多相关功能。它提供了一种比传统机构方法更有效、更高效的方法。
