A model of case management: toward empirically based practice.
Case management is highly valued as an intervention method for providing service to clients requiring long-term care. However, it lacks definitional consensus and conceptual clarity. An explicit, empirically based model of case management is presented on the basis of 15 functions and their dynamic interrelationship along a sequential dimension. A series of studies is described by means of which the model was devised, tested, and refined.
