Case management competency requires the following knowledge and skills: knowledge of community resources and financing methods; written and oral communication and documentation skills; negotiation and conflict-resolution skills; critical-thinking processes to identify and prioritize problems from the provider and client views; and identification of best resources for the desired outcomes. Because communities are unique, someone new to the area will lack knowledge of community resources and financing methods. There is nothing in the descriptions of the other public health nurses that indicates a lack of current knowledge or skills.
