What is the difference between Mental Health Navigation and Case Management?
Navigators vs Case Managers
Health navigators and case managers are health care workers who aim to provide individualized assistance to individuals with health concerns.
• Some overlapping functions
• Common goals such as improving the client’s health and well-being, and optimizing the use of available resources.
• Terms are often used interchangeably
Case managers usually have specialized training to provide case management services.
• A client is usually assigned a single case manager who acts as a primary contact and advocate for the client, and coordinates the services from/between different providers and agencies.
• Case management is often used for clients with chronic or complex conditions, such as mental health conditions, substance use issues, or when experiencing homelessness.
What is Case Management?
Case management can include several elements such as:
• Needs assessment/screenings (e.g. SDOH, medical needs, behavioral health conditions)
• Individualized care plan development
• Intensive, long term care coordination
• Personalized placement to out-of-county referrals
• Consistent monitoring and follow-up
• Ability to re-evaluate and change the plan as needed.
What is Mental Health Navigation?
