| Annotation | Care management has developed in a variety of forms. This diary study explores differences in the approach taken by care managers in three distinct social service settings: 61 in community-based older people's teams; 17 in hospital social work teams for older people; and 38 from mental health teams for younger adults. A total of 4,262 hours of activity were recorded, ranging between averages of 35.3 to 38.4 hours per week per manager. Conclusions are drawn both for social care and for health services developing case management for people with long term conditions. The evidence points to the mainly administrative form of care management that predominates in English local authorities today. (RH). |
