| Annotation | This article presents and reviews the evidence from a pilot project run by Halton Primary Care Trust at Castlefields Health Centre in Runcorn, where a social worker was based and worked proactively with a district nurse to introduce an integrated case management approach for patients. Decision-making was noticeably simplified and speeded up, with most assessments completed in a single day. The authors recommend that PCTs should consider the benefits of social care input to case management, especially when planning new services and new roles such as that of community matron. (KJ/RH). |
