Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

559
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...

Archival Research

15.9K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Data Collection by Experiments

24.0K
Data collection is a systematic method of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. An experimental study is a standard method of data collection that involves the manipulation of the samples by applying some form of treatment prior to data collection. It refers to manipulating one variable to determine its changes on another variable. The sample subjected to treatment is known as “experimental units.”
An example of the experimental method is a public...

Naturalistic Observations

15.4K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:

Area of Science:

  • Criminology and legal studies
  • Social justice research
  • Methodological innovation

Background:

  • Existing criminology research struggles to analyze systemic inequities in legal responses to youth.
  • Young people with multiple marginalized identities face compounded disadvantages within legal systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce the Critical Case File (CCF) approach, a novel framework for analyzing legal system inequities.
  • Examine structural factors contributing to legal system contact and disparities.
  • Demonstrate how legal system responses perpetuate existing inequalities.

Main Methods:

  • Propose a six-step methodological process for extracting and analyzing case file data.
  • Utilize a critical lens to examine multisystem information within case files.
  • Differentiate the CCF approach from traditional social science and criminology methods.

Main Results:

  • The CCF approach systematically captures comprehensive case file information.
  • It illuminates structural factors, such as economic and housing precarity, influencing legal system involvement.
  • The method highlights how legal system practices reinforce disparities across the legal continuum.

Conclusions:

  • The CCF approach provides a data-driven method to address structural disparities in the legal system.
  • It enables the development of targeted solutions and fosters research-practice-policy partnerships.
  • This framework advances equity-oriented research in criminal and juvenile justice.
