| Annotation | This chapter reviews the findings and conclusions drawn from the last 30 years of community-based long-term care and case management demonstration research in the US. Findings have ranged from no effects to positive and negative treatment effects. Various evaluations of the literature have concluded that these programmes not only failed to produce better outcomes for patients, but they also failed to achieve net cost reductions in use of medical care. Most demonstrations tended to increase costs. Small reductions in nursing home care costs for some groups were more than offset by increased costs of providing community services to other groups.
