“…Policy and practice guidance has increasingly emphasised the importance of multi-disciplinary assessment (Department of Health and Social Services 1991;Social Services Inspectorate andSocial Work Services Group 1991a, 1991b ;Department of Health 1997c, 2001aScottish Executive 2000). A study of assessment documents for United Kingdom older peoples' services reported little integration of health-care and social-care information (Challis, Carpenter and Traske 1996 ;Stewart et al 1999), even though many have argued the importance of a clinical contribution to the assessment process (Brocklehurst et al 1978;Peet et al 1994 ;Sharma et al 1994 ;Challis et al 2004).…”

This paper reports one component of an evaluation of the different forms, types and models of local authority social services' care-management for older people that have emerged in England since 1993. It was undertaken at a time of a growing debate about whether care-management differentiated those with simple from complex needs, and whether for the latter a multi-disciplinary approach was required. A sample representative of different approaches to care-management was selected from a national survey of local authorities to explore the associations between types of care-management and case-mix, the services received by the clients, and the use of staff time. The paper addresses the categorisation of the types of care-management and the differences associated with these. The care-management teams were distinguished by whether they used a ‘targeted approach’, had ‘specialist older people's teams’, or used other arrangements. It was found that those with a targeted approach undertook more multi-disciplinary assessments, provided more assistance to older people with mental health problems, and that their staff spent significantly less time in direct contact with users and carers. Conversely, those with specialist older people's teams had more users in receipt of occupational therapy services. Further research is required to explore the influence of these different arrangements on the wellbeing of service users and their carers.

“…Need identification processes are also important and studies have indicated the benefits of a comprehensive assessment in the community prior to admission to a nursing home (Brocklehurst et al, 1978;Sharma et al, 1994;Peet et al, 1994;Challis et al, 2004). Work in the US using the Minimum Data Set/Resident Assessment Instrument, which is mandated for use in all nursing homes, suggests that systematic assessment in care homes can produce benefits in terms of lower hospitalisation rates, reduction in health conditions, fewer resident perceived unmet needs, increased accuracy of information in medical records and increased comprehensiveness of care plans (Hawes et al, 1997a;Hawes et al, 1997b;Holtkamp et al, 2001;Phillips et al, 1996).…”

“…The benefits of involving such clinicians in the assessment of older people prior to admission are supported by a number of UK studies (Brocklehurst et al 1978;Peet et al 1994;Sharma et al 1994). There has also been a tradition on a local basis of engaging specialist staff in placement decisions (Hutchinson et al 1984;Rafferty et al 1987 ;Donald & Bown, 2003).…”
