Abstract
Case management has increased substantially and is now an integral component of the home care system in the United States. Although case management has been implemented in home care programs since the 1970s, the core components of the intervention have remained unchanged. Standardization of practice can be important; however, it is also necessary for care paradigms to be modified as the health and long-term care systems change. This article presents alternative approaches to delivering case management now being tested in two home care programs funded through community property tax levies.Keywords
