| Annotation | A brief screening tool is presented to help case managers identify clients in a home- and community-based services (HCBS) programme who need more intensive social work case management (CM). Existing data from a case management time study (n=242) and a content analysis of 70 cases in a Medicaid waiver-funded HCBS programme highlight issues such as dementia-related behaviour problems, noncompliance with treatment, poor informal caregiver health and mental health, and a conflicted or problematic relationship between client and caregiver - all predictive of need for intensive case management. The tool's reliability and validity will allow for better allocation of CM resources, in terms of case manager time and type of expertise needed to tackle these issues. (RH). |
