Purpose: The impact of spiritual and religious factors on health and care delivery has been identified in case management field research. The purpose of this article is to examine how case managers, taking a holistic, patient-centered approach, are required under professional and ethical standards to address the spiritual and religious influences that may impact the individual's health, care choices, and care delivery.
Primary Practice Settings: Case managers across health or human services must be able to identify and address the spiritual and/or religious factors that may influence a care plan and care delivery.
Purpose: The purpose of this discussion is to draw attention to the considerable pressure on professional case managers today to coordinate with multiple stakeholders, with responsibilities that put them at the forefront of contact with payers and providers. This discussion raises awareness of how case managers, and board-certified case managers in particular, must demonstrate that they adhere to the highest ethical standards, as codified by the Commission for Case Manager Certification's Code of Professional Conduct for Case Managers.
Primary Practice Settings: This discussion applies to case management practices and work settings across the full continuum of health care.
