title: Integrating case management and brief-treatment strategies: a hospital-based geriatric program.
abstract: This article describes a geriatric case management practice approach developed in a hospital-based program for clients living in the community. The model integrates concepts of case management and the brief treatment strategies of the task-centered model. First the rationale for the case management model will be presented, followed by a description of the practice guidelines. Two case examples illustrate the implementation of the model. An example of a task planner exemplifies practice modules that can be developed using the described approach.
