Title:

Single shared assessment: the limits to 'quick fix' implementation.

Reference:

Journal of Integrated Care, 16(1), February 2008, pp.22-30.

Abstract:

This paper explores the implementation of the shared assessment process in Scotland. It discusses the broader policy agenda, before exploring the introduction of the shared assessment tool in a large urban authority. Based primarily on interviews with front-line staff in health and social work and managers charged with delivering shared assessment, the paper suggests a lack of engagement on issues such as working cultures and equity of workloads, while some of the main reasons behind the implementation of shared assessment, such as overcoming duplication, have not generally materialised for staff.
