Case management for persons who are homeless.
Comprehensive, client-centered continuous care with a multidisciplinary team using the case management model has proven to be essential in providing health care services to the homeless. Despite their heterogeneity, homeless persons share the common experiences of being poor, isolated, and in crisis. The process of case management is inherently therapeutic for its recipients and providers. It has the potential to be a source of human support for those who have none. Case management models can be effective systems for providing health care to these persons while addressing their special needs and characteristics.
