Summary
New case management practices support deinstitutionalized clients by integrating natural and professional support networks. A flexible, decentralized model in Montreal emphasizes client involvement and partner collaboration for better implementation.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Social Work Practices
- Community Psychiatry
Context:
- Driven by socio-economic factors and the need for community reintegration of long-term institutionalized individuals.
- Traditional case management models face implementation and management challenges.
- Growing emphasis on patient-centered care and community-based support systems.
Purpose:
- To introduce and evaluate a novel case management model designed for effective client reintegration.
- To address the limitations of existing case management approaches.
- To foster collaboration among support networks for improved client outcomes.
Summary:
- The study presents a flexible, open, and decentralized case management model developed in Montreal's west end.
- This model prioritizes client participation and integrates natural and professional support systems.
- Key characteristics include adaptability, accessibility, and strong inter-partner collaboration.
Impact:
- Potential for improved outcomes for deinstitutionalized populations.
- Offers a scalable and adaptable framework for community-based care.
- Enhances the effectiveness of support networks through collaborative practice.

01:25Clearance Models: Compartment Models
Clearance measures drug elimination from the central compartment, including plasma and highly perfused organs like kidneys and liver. Its calculation varies depending on pharmacokinetic models and administration routes. The one-compartment model, for instance, portrays the pharmacokinetics of polar drugs such as aminoglycoside antibiotics administered intravenously and readily excreted in urine. In this case, clearance is influenced by the terminal rate constant (λz) and the total volume of...
01:15Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model
The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic illness...

01:06Three-Compartment Open Model
The three-compartment open model is a pharmacokinetic model used to describe the distribution and elimination of drugs following extravascular administration. It comprises a central compartment representing the plasma and two peripheral compartments. The highly perfused peripheral compartment represents organs and tissues with a rich blood supply, such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs. The scarcely perfused peripheral compartment represents tissues with lower blood supply, such as adipose...

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
01:09Clearance Models: Physiological Models
Drug clearance is a critical pharmacokinetic process involving the irreversible removal of drugs from the body through various organs over a specified time period. Physiological models are indispensable in determining organ-specific clearance, defined by the proportion of the drug eliminated per unit of time from the organ's blood volume.
The organ's clearance rate depends on the blood flow to the organ and the extraction ratio (E). The extraction ratio describes the organ's proficiency in drug...

01:17Clearance Models: Noncompartmental Models
Clearance is a pharmacokinetic parameter traditionally defined by compartment models, signifying the rate at which a drug is expelled from the body. However, a noncompartmental model offers an alternative method for assessing clearance, primarily employing empirical data obtained after administering a single drug dose.
The noncompartmental approach capitalizes on extensive sampling data, correlating the volume of distribution to systemic exposure and the administered dosage. This method enables...
