At the request of our readers, we are adding a special feature focusing on case management. This feature will appear on an occasional basis in the Journal. Based on the suggestion of a reader, we are using a Panel approach to provide a forum for sharing ideas, viewpoints, and perspectives. We have put together a group of individuals with expertise from a variety of case management arenas who have agreed to serve as Panel members. For each feature Panel members will share their opinions and perspectives in response to specific questions or scenarios. We encourage readers to submit their questions or scenarios for the Panel. This month's Panel members include Mary Lou Wassel, Robin Tourigian, Annette B. Haag, and Christine M. Kalina. The question for this month's feature comes from the Case Management Section Meeting at AOHC in San Francisco.
