  • Case management effectiveness
  • Patient outcomes

Background:

  • Case management programs are crucial for post-inpatient care.
  • Evaluating long-term patient outcomes is essential for program refinement.
  • Limited data exists on the sustained impact of rehabilitation-oriented case management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness of a rehabilitation-oriented case management program.
  • To compare patient outcomes at six months and two years post-discharge.
  • To evaluate occupational functioning, living independence, and social isolation.

  • Outcomes measured included occupational functioning, living situation, social isolation, and hospitalizations.

    • Main Results:

    • At two years, case management patients showed significantly better occupational functioning and less social isolation.
    • Patients in the case management group also demonstrated increased independence in living situations by the two-year mark.
    • No significant difference in hospitalization rates was observed between the groups at either follow-up point.

    Conclusions:

    • Rehabilitation-oriented case management positively impacts long-term patient functioning and social integration.
    • The program's benefits, particularly in independence and social connection, become more pronounced over time.
    • The study provides evidence for the efficacy of case management in improving patient quality of life post-inpatient care.
