Under What Circumstances Should a Case Manager Seek an Independent Medical Evaluation,and is There a Good Method of Selecting an Examiner for This Purpose?
Case Management Update appears as part of Clinical Rounds in the Journal. The panel approach provides a forum for sharing ideas, viewpoints, and perspectives. Panel members come with expertise from a variety of case management arenas and have agreed to share their opinions and perspectives in response to specific questions or scenarios. Opinions and perspectives are those of the panel members and do not necessarily represent the views of the AAOHN, the Editor, or the Publisher. We encourage readers to submit their questions or scenarios for the panel. This month's panel members include Norman Brown and Robin Tourigian.
