Case Management & Reasonable Accommodation What is the Difference? Melissa Cusey Debbie Jones Humanitas September 2011

PURPOSE  To clarify the difference between health case management and reasonable accommodation for applicants/students with disabilities. 2

Defining accommodation and reviewing examples Reasonable Accommodation 3

 It is a PRH and legal requirement that all applicants and students with disabilities be provided the opportunity to request and receive reasonable accommodations 4

Defined  Accommodations are any o changes to the environment or o in the way things are customarily done that give a person with a disability an opportunity to participate in the application process, job, program, or activity in a way that is equal to the opportunity given to similarly situated people without disabilities. 5

Defined  Reasonable accommodation may involve o providing an appropriate service or product; o modifying or adjusting a job, work/academic environment, policy, program, or procedure; or any other action that removes those barriers for the person with a disability. 6

Let’s Practice  First, let’s identify the type of accommodation. Is it o A change to a policy or procedure o Providing an appropriate service o Modifying or adjusting a job, work, or academic environment? 7

Example #1: 1. A change to a policy or procedure 2. Providing an appropriate service 3. Modifying or adjusting a job, work, or academic environment? 8  A student who is diabetic may need to have a schedule adjustment that allows him or her to come to wellness each day 30 minutes before lunch.

Defining health case management and reviewing examples Health Case Management 30

Health Case Management  Definition of case management: “a collaborative process of assessment, planning, facilitation and advocacy for options and services to meet an individual’s health needs through communication and available resources to promote quality cost-effective outcomes.” Case Management Society of America 31

CASE MANAGEMENT  The PRH requires case management of health needs in Chapter 6, Section 6.10, R1.b.4  Several CCMPs (Chronic Care Management Plans) and MHCCMPs (Mental Health Chronic Care Management Plans) have been developed and are available in Information Notices and

CASE MANAGEMENT EXAMPLES  A student who is diabetic is monitored for medication compliance, glucose levels, and knowledge of condition in the wellness center  A student with a depressive disorder is monitored for changes in behavior. If a concern, an appointment with the CMHC may occur. 33

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN Reasonable Accommodation Plan  Student must have a disability  May not be a substitute for a case management plan  Should be individualized and should not contain confidential information  Used to inform staff of the specific accommodations the student must be provided Case Management Plan  May or may not include reasonable accommodations  Focus on teaching self management of diagnosis  Individualized and focused on solving or minimizing the existing problem  Focused on the future 34

Example: Asthma Health Case Management  Offer medical identification bracelet  Provide self- management education  Discuss trade selection  Discuss life style changes, smoking cessation  Educate student and staff about condition Reasonable Accommodation  There would most likely be no accommodation. If condition worsened, accommodation plan may be created 35

Example: Diabetes Health Case Management  Monitor glucose testing  Annual vision exam  Dental exam  Offer medical identification bracelet  Regular follow up Reasonable Accommodation  Leave class 15 minutes before lunch to go to wellness  Refrigerator in dorm room for medications  Healthy snack at bedtime 36

Example: Schizophrenia Health Case Management  Offer medical identification bracelet  Provide self- management education  Discuss trade selection  Discuss life style changes, smoking cessation  Educate student and staff about condition Reasonable Accommodation  Allow flexible training schedule–breaks when needed  Provide a quiet place to complete assignments/tests  Locate a quite place in the dorm when student is stressed  Single room or fewer roommates when available 37

Documentation Storage Logistics 38

Documentation Requirements  Students with disabilities who are being case managed and have no accommodations will not have a separate accommodation file.  Students with disabilities who are being case managed and have an accommodation plan will have a separate accommodation folder.  All case management notes will be found in the student medical record.

Documentation Requirements  Accommodation plans are only created for students who actually receive accommodations.  For students being case managed, information should be shared with staff that have a need to know.
