Have we oversold case management as a "quick fix" for our long-term-care system?
Case management has become a core component in almost every community-based, long-term-care program. Yet it is, at best, a piecemeal response to an enormous health and social services problem. Fragmented funding, ill-considered public health policy, and short-range planning assure that no single system, even one as ubiquitous as case management, will eliminate the serious problems plaguing our health care system.
