  • Examination of funding transfer mechanisms and case management models.

    • Main Results:

    • Community care 'wherever possible' objective unlikely to be efficient without cost-benefit assessment.
    • Funding transfer mechanisms were inadequate to promote community care goals.
    • Carers' time costs and benefits are crucial in individual care package design.
    • Case management aids individual assessment but faces fragmentation challenges.

    Conclusions:

    • Efficient community care requires rigorous cost-benefit analysis.
    • Improved funding mechanisms are essential for successful community care implementation.
    • Case management, while valuable, needs strategies to overcome organizational fragmentation for flexible care delivery.
