AnnotationMultidisciplinary teams in Croydon are leading work to identify people at risk of hospital admission and to support them in the community, potentially saving substantial amounts of money. Social service departments have adapted this advance identification of people with increasing needs - known as predictive case finding - which has been used in the health service for several years. This article cites a case study from Croydon, and notes that similar schemes in Devon and Wandsworth are being evaluated. This is one of a series of articles in this issue of Community Care on the theme of surviving the cuts. (RH)
