Abstract

“This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of case management systems for the co-ordination of care of people with long-term mental illness living in the community. Many of the principles are equally applicable to other client groups with long-term needs, e.g. elderly people or people with learning difficulties. Some of the historical background to the emergence of case management concepts is discussed, culminating in the recent White Paper on Community Care. The underlying concept of case management is examined, together with a number of fundamental questions concerning who should act as case managers, what kinds of training they will require, problems of inter- and intra-agency co-operation, and the empirical evidence regarding its effectiveness. It is concluded that case management could be an important element in a comprehensive range of mental health services, but it is not a substitute for basic community provisions.”
