Research issues in case management

Claire Hale Research/Associate, Centre for Health Services Research, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Senior Nurse (Research), Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastleupon Tyne

Case management and managed care are strategies for co-ordinating the services and care required by groups of patients in a variety of clinical areas. These systems have been described and discussed in a previous issue//Nursing Standard (1) which highlighted the fact that evidence used to support the effectiveness of these systems is currently very weak. The purpose of this article is to discuss some of the research and evaluation issues.
