Extract: Interdisciplinary case management is required when clients present problems that do not fall within the purview of any one discipline. The interdisciplinary approach entails the participation of professional and support staff, along with the client and his/her family, in diagnosis, individual program planning, implementation, and evaluation. For example, interdisciplinary case management for a patient with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) results in cost-effective, efficacious treatment. Because of the diversity of symptoms, the treatment of Prader-Willi syndrome must incorporate knowledge and skills from a variety of areas. A model for the interdisciplinary case management of PWS is presented. The model is problem focused and emphasizes goals formulated and acted upon by the disciplines represented on the client's treatment team. Communication and coordination of efforts are central to the utility of the model. Additional benefits of interdisciplinary case management include the opportunity for ongoing education and role expansion of team members.(author)
