This episode is co-presented by the Association of Physician Leadership in Care Management and the American Case Management Association. In this episode, we are joined by two physicians, Dr. Rebecca Severe, a Hospital Medicine-certified physician serving as Medical Director of Care Management for Advocate Aurora Health, and Dr. Sweta Singh, Medical Director of Care
Management at the University of Michigan Medical School.

In this episode, our physicians discuss two intriguing cases. The first case involves a 67-year-old female with a history of COPD and aortic stenosis who presents with shortness of breath and fever. The doctors discuss whether the patient should be admitted as an inpatient or placed in observation
status. The second case involves a 71-year-old female with a history of seizures who is undergoing long-term EEG monitoring. The doctors discuss the challenges of obtaining inpatient status for planned admissions and the importance of documentation in justifying the need for inpatient care.

The Association of Physician Leadership in Care Management, or APLCM, was created to provide support and education for physicians in this field. APLCM is unique because of its connection to the American Case Management Association, focusing on the partnership and collaborative model of nurse case managers, social workers, and physicians in care management. ACMA has a rich, 25-year history of supporting the case management field.

APLCM is inclusive of all practice settings. Membership in APLCM also gives you access to all ACMA resources and benefits. Whether you're new to case management or have years of experience, APLCM membership is valuable. Gain access to professional networking opportunities and resources.
