MIDAS+ Care Management—Community Case Management
Use the Community Case Management subsystem to document how high-risk patients are managed across
the continuum of care. Whether you identify high-risk clients upon enrollment to a health plan, perform as a
clinical specialist for specific patient populations, follow clients in the community, or coordinate authorization
of services and discharge planning, the Community Case Management module has what you need to ensure successful
outcomes. You can associate assessments, problems, interventions, goals and outcomes with each individual
case management episode to create an individualized care plan for your patient.
Using SmarTrack™ rules, the Community Case Management module automatically notifies case managers when a client
re-enters the healthcare system, exceeds a recommended length of stay, or meets any number of user-defined criteria.
It also allows you to transfer patients from one worklist to another and reminds you when a patient requires
follow-up contact or interventions. You can create multiple case management episodes if the patient is being managed
for more than one medical condition and the case management team can update the care plan frequently. With
SmarTrack™, you can define your own case and resource management rules and parameters for accurate data management
and reporting.
Another critical benefit is an environment in which interventions are linked to projected outcomes. A plan of care,
including problems, goals and projected outcomes, can be updated by the multi-disciplinary team. It also enables
case managers to track specific services and referral patterns for a specified patient population by
cross-referencing them with networkwide resource data.

"Froedtert Hospital implemented MIDAS+ in March 2000. The Quality Management Department and Division of Patient Care Services utilize the Focus Study module to monitor inpatient and outpatient standards of care based on JCAHO requirements. With the MIDAS+ system, we are able to customize the data collection process and reporting of results to meet the ever-changing needs of our facility."
