Intensive case management (ICM) programs for serious mental illness lack a standard definition. This study found consensus on structural elements but highlighted ICM

Area of Science:

  • Mental Health Services Research
  • Healthcare Management
  • Social Work Practice

Background:

  • Intensive case management (ICM) programs are prevalent for serious mental illness (SMI) in the US.
  • A lack of standardized definition and conceptualization hinders consistent implementation of ICM.
  • ICM aims for continuity of care through common principles and functions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the core elements of Intensive Case Management (ICM) program theory.
  • To integrate existing ICM literature with empirical data from stakeholders.
  • To explore consensus and divergence in understanding ICM among different professional groups.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of Intensive Case Management (ICM) programs.
  • Surveys and focus groups with researchers, administrators, program managers, and case managers.

  • Analysis of perspectives from three distinct ICM stakeholder groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Strong consensus exists regarding the structural dimensions of Intensive Case Management (ICM).
    • Moderate agreement was found concerning the operationalization of ICM principles.
    • Findings support a client-oriented model for ICM, contrasting with system-driven approaches.

    Conclusions:

    • While structural components of ICM are widely agreed upon, their practical application shows variability.
    • Intensive Case Management (ICM) is best conceptualized as a client-centered approach.
    • Further research may clarify operational best practices for effective ICM implementation.
