Care Management

Turn Member Risk and Needs Into Coordinated Action.

Identify actionable members, understand what is driving their needs, and manage intake, goals, barriers, outreach, follow-up, and resolution in one care-management workflow.

Identify & prioritize

Start with members who have a supported reason for care-management attention.

Burse™ organizes care-management opportunities around defined, actionable member needs—not broad risk lists that leave the care manager to determine why the member was surfaced.

High Risk

Surface members with meaningful clinical complexity and utilization who warrant structured care-management review and intervention.

Rising Risk

Surface members whose recent clinical or utilization signals indicate an emerging need for care-management attention.

Avoidable ED Visit

Identify members with emergency-department use that warrants review of access, follow-up needs, or underlying barriers.

Recent Hospitalization

Create timely transition workflows to assess discharge needs, medication access, appointments, and follow-through.

No PCP Visit in Last 24 Months

Identify members with no PCP visit in the prior 24 months and organize outreach to reconnect them with primary care.

Clinical context

Understand the member before outreach begins.

The care manager should be able to answer two questions immediately: Why is this member here? and What should I understand before I contact them?

Why Flagged
Relevant clinical and utilization signals
Conditions and medications
Recent events and care history
Potential barriers
Recommended initial action
Member opportunity
Why this member is on the worklist.
Why Flagged

Recent hospitalization with follow-up and access needs that warrant care-management review.

Signals to Review
Recent inpatient hospitalization
Medication regimen changed
PCP follow-up not yet scheduled
Two ED visits in prior 90 days
Recommended Initial Action

Contact the member within 2 days to assess transition status, medication access, PCP follow-up, and immediate barriers.

Potential Barriers

Transportation • medication affordability • appointment access • engagement

Member-specific care plan

Build member-specific care plans around measurable outcomes.

For each care-management opportunity, Burse™ uses the member's available data and opportunity type to create a tailored care plan with one or more goals, the work needed during Intake and Follow-Up, and a time-bound measure for determining whether each goal was achieved.

Goals
Member-specific goals

Define one or more outcomes care management should meaningfully influence for this member based on the opportunity and available member data.

Measures
Time-bound measures

Associate each goal with a defined measure and timeframe so the team can determine whether the intended outcome was achieved.

Intake & Follow-Up
Work tied to the goal

Generate Intake tasks for work that can happen now and Follow-Up tasks for reassessment, verification, or action that must occur later.

Barriers, Interventions & Outreach
Adapt the plan and coordinate action

Connect barriers, interventions, and outreach to the goal they affect; coordinate with the member, caregivers, or care team; add work when needed; or document when the goal is no longer achievable.

Intake → Follow-up

Separate what the care manager can do now from what can only be verified later.

Burse™ generates Intake and Follow-Up work around the member's specific goals. Intake captures the assessment and actions that can happen now; Follow-Up returns verification, reassessment, and unresolved work when time has passed or a future event has occurred.

Intake

Act on what can be assessed or initiated now.

Assess current member status and needs
Confirm access, adherence, and immediate barriers
Communicate and educate
Coordinate appointments, referrals, or next actions
Establish the care plan and accountable work
Follow-Up

Bring future verification and reassessment back when due.

Verify whether the planned action occurred
Reassess the member after time has passed
Determine whether an intervention worked
Escalate or adjust unresolved work
Close, continue, or escalate the opportunity based on what follow-up confirms.
Activity vs. outcome

Intake and Follow-Up show what work occurred. The goal measure determines whether the intended outcome was achieved within the defined timeframe.

Member & care team engagement

Keep outreach and follow-through connected to the work.

Coordinate communication with members, authorized family members or caregivers, and the provider care team. Care managers can text members directly from Burse™ where messaging is enabled and consent requirements are met, and securely message PCPs and specialists through workflows integrated with the provider's EHR. Communication history, responses, and resulting follow-up stay connected to the member's care plan and opportunity.

Measurement & resolution

Know what was done—and whether the intended outcome was achieved.

Burse™ separates task completion from goal achievement. Intake and Follow-Up activity shows what the team did; the goal's time-bound measure shows whether the intended outcome was achieved, remains unresolved, or requires additional action.
