Case management is the encompassing model for managing people with severe mental illness, but models of case management vary. The aim was to compare the effectiveness of an integrated (internal) model of care management (in which the social worker is a member of the multidisciplinary healthcare team) against a brokerage model in which the care manager operates "externally" to the healthcare team. Patients with severe mental illness meeting a high threshold of need referred to a community team were randomized to a care manager newly appointed to the team, or to a care manager outside the team. Days spent in hospital were the primary outcome measure, and costs for patients in each arm were compared. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were employed to explore a sample of cases in each category; compare joint working practice in both models; and compare practice in London to that within a well-established integrated CMHT in Nottingham. The randomized trial of "internal" vs. "external" care management showed no significant differences in outcome or costs among 26 patients. However, the qualitative study revealed worker dissatisfaction with the brokerage model, and identified inefficiencies and duplication of effort. The brokerage model of case management should not be maintained.
Community mental health team case-loads and diagnostic

In this research information concerning team staffing, key worker case-loads, and key worker diagnostic case-mix was collected from six community mental health teams caring for 1651 patients to establish the clinical burden across teams and professions. The most common diagnoses were schizophrenia (28.6%) and depression (23.6%). Findings indicate that multi-disciplinary community mental health teams have shared views of appropriate work distribution. Consultant psychiatrists may under-estimate the resources required by patients with non-psychotic disorders even in inner city areas.

Booklet designed to confirm the Government's commitment to the Care Programme Approach (CPA) as the framework for care coordination and resource allocation in mental health care and to set out important changes to the CPA which take account of available evidence and experience and which will make the CPA an even more effective and efficient system of care coordination. The booklet also aims to clarify the role and purpose of the CPA in the context of the provision of modern mental health care and sets out who is responsible for the implementation of the changes.
