Abstract:
This paper sets out to assess the evidence of the use of a case management approach when dealing with long term conditions in the UK. It draws on published papers, some of which emulated or adapted strategies that were used in the USA. The review found that despite there being a unified definition of case management, patients and carers reported benefits of being case managed. However, the wide differences in the factors relating to outcome measures resulted in inconclusive evidence about the effectiveness of case management.
