Case management for frail elders: the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Program for Hospital Initiatives in Long-Term Care.
This evaluation of 24 hospital-based case management services found that case management could take a variety of forms, ranging from postacute medical management service to planning community-based care for potential long-term care users. Future research should concentrate on documenting the costs and outcomes of various models of case management in acute care settings.
