Case Management Program

Led by

Case Management Coordinators: Matthew Ortega & Linda Stewart

Director of CEHS: Ani Akopyan

The Basics Community Need: Vallejo has some of the highest rates of

diabetes, hypertension, high BMI and cardiovascular disease. The SRFC Case Managers work to empower these patients to better manage their chronic conditions and implement healthy lifestyles choices.

Program Design: The program takes a public health approach to

reducing the burden of diabetes, hypertension, high BMI, and cardiovascular disease within community. This is accomplished through 7 to 8 interactive meetings and/or phone calls with the patient.

Interprofessional Collaboration: This program was designed by an

MPH student and priority is given to MPH students who want to volunteer as Case Managers.

Case Management Program 1. Patient is referred to the program by the Student Doctor 2. Case Manager Assesses the patients health behaviors and

health risk using a pre and post test survey. 3. Case Manager Advises the patient on their health issue and

healthy lifestyle choices using client centered principles. 4. Case Manager and patient develop and Agree to a health

management plan. 5. Case Manager and patient Arrange the appropriate

meeting times and communication method. 6. Case Manager Assists the patient in overcoming barriers to

healthy lifestyle behaviors.

Student Training 6-8 online modules with corresponding quizzes Mock sessions will be demonstrated Future Case Managers will perform mock sessions Case Management Coordinators will assist with initial meeting(s) Training will begin in end of June and Case Managers will be
