Case management approaches for in-home care.
Restructuring healthcare delivery systems within limited budgets presents multiple management challenges. As hospitals have downsized, the demand for in-home services has increased. The involvement of multiple provider agencies and professionals has heightened duplication and fragmentation of services and has complicated the need to develop client-focused, evidence-based approaches. In response to these challenges, community-based case management has burgeoned.
