Care Management

Managing MS is an ongoing process, beginning with the very first symptoms and continuing throughout the disease course. Managing MS and its changes can require guidance at times. Knowing what to look for, where to find it, and how to work effectively with your doctor and other health professionals is essential to your health and quality of life.

The overall goal of care management is to help people with MS achieve the highest level of independence possible and help caregivers cope with the challenges.

Care management is usually brought about by a change in:

  • Individual’s health status
  • Caregiver situation
  • Support network
  • Financial crisis
