This study on case management models found that a patient advocacy approach increased service use and costs in elderly, impaired adults. However, improved survival rates may justify the higher healthcare expenditures.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Gerontology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Case management models are diverse, often categorized differently.
  • Two generic models are proposed: interrogative (oversight, cost reduction) and patient advocacy (brokering, patient interest).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of different case management models.
  • To evaluate a patient advocacy model in an elderly, functionally impaired population.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized trial was conducted.
  • The study implemented a patient advocacy model.

Main Results:

  • The patient advocacy model led to increased service utilization.
  • This model also resulted in higher healthcare costs.

  • Increased survival rates were observed in the patient advocacy group.

    • Conclusions:

    • The patient advocacy model may increase service use and costs.
    • Enhanced survival rates might justify the additional costs associated with this model.
    • Further research is needed to fully assess the long-term value.
