It has come to my attention and to yours I am sure, about Sabrina’s diagnosis with Diabetes. It has not been very long since she has been diagnosed but her disability has reflected through her work ethic, which has since then taken a step backwards. I have been made aware of her behavior and certain actions to specify- that reflects that of a diabetic patient that is going through mood swings due to the disease, which, according to certain statutes of Employment Law, is treated as a disability and must not be taken lightly and treated accordingly.

Case management’s goals are to provide high-risk patients with a continuum of care, improving the quality of life, and lowering costs for the patients for their specific disease. To reach these goals case managers use different components which include; assessments and correct diagnosis, advocating for the patient, planning for specific services, identifying and linking services to the patient, monitoring and evaluating the specific services for the patient. Case management has been used in many disease processes, including cardiac, pulmonary, and renal disease.

    Fredericksen has proven herself to be an effective communicator among her staff members even to the point that she may over-communicate. Among her staff members she will send daily emails with the most current information and she will also text it to them and even print out the information and place it on the unit for them to read.

While I agree that not all staff members are reading their emails as they should, by sending and giving them the information in so many different formats she is in fact encouraging them to not follow the policy of reading their emails daily. As adults the staff members should be aware of the method of communication our facility utilizes and, as adults, should make sure that they keep themselves current.
