Abstract

A method is presented for measuring the activities of case management in the care of the severely mentally disabled in catchmented public community mental health systems. Two variants of the method were compared, interviewing case managers and record abstracting. The methods were tested in two community mental health center (CMHC) sites, and appear to yield comparable results. The record abstract method seems workable for retrospective examination of case management in a CMHC system, and for the comparison of case management in different systems.

Cross-border healthcare. Going nowhere.

Expectations of significant numbers of patients crossing borders within the EU for treatment have not materialised. This is despite the establishment of projects in border regions designed to increase the number of patients going outside their own country for treatment. Doctors' reluctance to refer patients outside their own country may be a factor in this. There are still legal and administrative uncertainties about reimbursement for care in another country.
