Explanation

Option A is correct because it accurately reflects the standard definition of case management in healthcare: it involves creating and coordinating individualized care plans for patients with complex needs, with the dual goals of delivering appropriate care and managing costs. Case management typically includes assessing patient needs, setting goals, arranging services, and monitoring outcomes across the care continuum. Option B is wrong simply because the statement is a factually accurate definition, leaving no basis for calling it false. Memory tip: Think of case management as a "care coordinator" role - it bridges clinical complexity and cost efficiency by planning, not just treating.
