Identifies problems faced in attempting to analyse the relative cost-effectiveness of long-stay hospital care and community care: comparisons of average costs often ignore the substantial variation of the costs of individuals within settings; excessive weight is placed on those factors more easily measured than those that indicate quality or effectiveness. Considers studies that have attempted to cost alternatives to long-stay hospital care for the frail elderly and of case management, and at lessons that can be learnt from other countries experiences in this area.
