“…27 The second output was the Resource Utilization Groups Version III for Home Care (RUG-III/HC) which classifies clients into homogenous case mix groups that range from higher to lower resource use. 28 A regression analysis of total recorded activity hours with the client’s MAPLe score as the independent variable yielded an r 2 value of 0.0023. A regression analysis of total recorded activity hours with the client’s RUG-III/HC group yielded an r 2 value of 0.14.…”

In response to caseloads that are increasing in numbers and acuity, Alberta Health Services developed the Caseload Intensity Tool (CIT). The development and testing process led to a valid and reliable tool that connects client clinical condition to clinician response. The CIT allows clinicians to discriminate between levels of client intensity quickly and accurately. The scores for each client are summarized first into a client intensity scale and then a caseload intensity scale. The CIT can facilitate caseload management including matching client needs to resources and improving staff resource management, for example, equitable caseloads. There is potential for the tool to validate the relatively invisible work of case managers making it understandable, measurable, and defensible during times of rising costs and budget restraint.

The variability in Barthel Index in each level of care found in this study indicated a large general misclassification of home care clients according to their actual need of care. Professional caregivers identified occasional incontinence, help with eating and drinking and mobility (especially in female clients) as areas of possible under- and oversupply of care. The statutory German long-term care insurance classification should be modified according to the above finding to increase the quality of care in home care clients.
