| Annotation | In the British Journal of Social Work, vo 32, no 3 (April 2002), Martin Dempster and Michael Donnelly described the use of an adaptation of the PGI (Patient Generated Index) to assess the impact of an intensive domiciliary care scheme for people discharged from hospital. The author questions the assumption made that an improvement in quality of life would be generally accepted as evidence of service effectiveness. (RH). |
