How and in what context does primary care case management for frequent users improve outcomes for frequent users with chronic conditions?

Supportive contexts, such as good access to care, an experienced and reliable case manager, the provision of comprehensive care, and the maintenance of positive interactions with patients, contribute to case manager and patient engagement in case management and produce positive outcomes, such as greater satisfaction, improved health status, self-management, adherence to care, and quality of life, when the following mechanisms are triggered: patients and clinicians feel supported, respected, accepted, engaged, and committed; and patients feel less anxious, more secure, and able to self-manage.
