Deb Ault is a pioneer in innovative case management strategies — but she (and some of her fellow RNs) were not always convinced that it was the best strategy.

Nurse Deb is the President of Ault International Medical Management and a pioneer in the medical management field. As an advocate of proactive and predictive case management, she helps patients and their case managers navigate the diagnosis, treatment, and financial aspects of healthcare.

Deb defines and discusses the four types of medical management and explains why she thinks predictive management is the model of the future. She shares how she realized care management could both improve care and reduce costs when done correctly. Deb also emphasizes the importance of employer engagement in health plans, and why they must balance the cost of care with the health of their employees.
