This study examines the impact of intensive case management services on nursing home length of stay and use of community-based resources for short-term nursing home residents. The findings did not reveal statistically significant effects, indicating that the outcomes of the services provided by the nursing home social workers and the intensive case managers were essentially the same. Discussion focuses on additional variables, such as rural/urban location and social service/nursing home staff relationships that may impact on the effects of case management on the discharge process.
本研究考察了强化个案管理服务对短期疗养院居民的疗养院住院时长及社区资源利用情况的影响。研究结果未显示出具有统计学意义的效果，这表明疗养院社会工作者和强化个案管理者所提供服务的结果基本相同。讨论聚焦于其他变量，如农村/城市地区位置以及可能影响个案管理对出院流程效果的社会服务/疗养院工作人员关系。
