Case Management in Mental Health

Abstract: Despite the growing popularity of case management in caring for clients' multiple needs, the concept of case management and its relationship to social work are yet to be defined clearly. To help shed light on the subject, this article reports on a survey of 403 case managers in community mental health centers in Georgia that examined how workers' educational level, professional identification, and demographic characteristics influenced their performance of case management tasks.

“…For example, surveys of case managers have identified attitudes about case management (Rubin & Johnson, 1982;Middleton, 1985), described issues related to implementing services (Middleton, 1985), and explored time allocation (Kurtz, Bagarozzi, & Polane, 1984;MacEachron, Pensky, & Hawes, 1986;Wright, Skelbar, & Heiman, 1987). Although a few studies have attempted to examine the effects of case management on recipients and have suggested that recipients benefit from the services they receive (Baker & Weiss, 1984;Rapp & Chamberlain, 1985;Zimmerman, 1987), these studies have been criticized on methodological grounds.…”

“…Case management is a complex intervention that has been used in different health care settings such as psychiatry and geriatric care [2,3]. It has no single definition but it has been suggested that basic case management may include identification and outreach, comprehensive individual-based assessment, care planning, care coordination, service provision, monitoring, evaluation and meeting individual needs [4,5].…”

“…The first category of case management practices defines case management primarily in terms of both the functions (roles) of case managers and case manager accountability, efficiency, and effectiveness as the goals of case management practices (Freedman et al, 1988;Rubin, 1987;Schwartz et al, 1982). Role-focused approaches to case management center almost entirely on case manager integration and coordination of services for the client (e.g., Johnson & Rubin, 1983;Kurtz, Bagarozzi, & Pollane, 1984;Rubin, 1987;Schwartz et al, 1982) and emphasize the case manager's functions and responsibilities with respect to the "extent of the managers control over services and resources' (Schwartz et al, 1982(Schwartz et al, , p. 1006. Case management practices based upon this approach only superficially address the relationship between case manager functions and procedural goals (e.g., identifying client needs) and almost entirely ignore the implications and consequences (outcomes) of the ways in which case management influences client behaviors.…”
