The brain injury case management taxonomy (BICM-T); a classification of community-based case management interventions for a common language

The description of case management in research and clinical practice is highly variable which impedes quality analysis, policy and planning. Case management makes a unique contribution towards the integration of health care, social services and other sector services and supports for people with complex health conditions. There are multiple components and variations of case management depending on the context and client population. This paper aims to scope and map case management in the literature to identify how case management is described in the literature for key complex health conditions (e.g., brain injury, diabetes, mental health, spinal cord injury). Following literature searches in multiple databases, grey literature and exclusion by health condition, community-based and adequate description, there were 661 potential papers for data extraction. Data from 79 papers (1988–2013) were analysed to the point of saturation (no new information) and mapped to the model, components and activities. The results included 22 definitions, five models, with 69 activities or tasks of case managers mapped to 17 key components (interventions). The results confirm the significant terminological variance in case management which produces role confusion, ambiguity and hinders comparability across different health conditions and contexts. There is an urgent need for an internationally agreed taxonomy for the coordination, navigation and management of care.

“…The concepts were discussed with team members, and then organized, grouping similar concepts together into higher and lower order categories. Once the list of concepts had been refined and organized into categories, the ideas were compared to other frameworks and definitions for the concepts were developed based on terminology taken from the International Classification of Health Interventions [15,16] and a case management taxonomy [17]. The Toronto Declaration [3] was referred to at this stage for reflection only, as whilst they defined priority areas for bridging (see Table 1), no definitions for specific bridging tasks (e.g., dissemination or coordination) were provided in that paper.…”

“…Another significant finding was the large proportion of studies discussing bridging focused on individuals aging with I/DD. The area of intellectual disabilities has pioneered research in areas related to bridging such as, case management, and care coordination between social, employment, housing and health services [17,70]. This emerged in the 1960's as part of the deinstitutionalisation process of severe mental illness (including I/DD) and the early development of integrated care in this field.…”

Background: Bridging involves improving knowledge sharing and collaboration across different fields, such as aging and disability. The objectives of this review were to describe: 1) the contexts where bridging has occurred in relation to delivery of health services for adults aging with neurological or developmental conditions; and 2) characterize and map bridging tasks, stakeholders involved, and outcomes discussed in peer-reviewed literature.Methods: Seven databases were searched around the core concepts of "bridging," "aging," and "disability." In total, 10, 819 articles were screened with 49 meeting the inclusion criteria of discussing aging with developmental or neurological disability, explicitly describing bridging tasks, published in English and a peer-reviewed publication. Bibliographic information, sample characteristics, and data on bridging was extracted and included in the qualitative synthesis. Results: Intellectual and/or Developmental disabilities were the most studied population (76% of articles), and most articles were published in the United States (57%). Twenty-two bridging tasks were identified, and categorized into three domains: health and social service delivery (e.g., care coordination tasks), policy (e.g., policy change), and research and training (e.g., mentoring). Stakeholders involved ranged from health care professionals to policy makers and organizations in aging and disability services. Conclusions:The resulting matrix will assist in the specification of bridging in research and practice. Future work should evaluate specific models of bridging and their effects on health service delivery. BackgroundBridging as a field of scientific knowledge considers how silos can be broken down, and how individuals from different fields can work together sharing their knowledge and skills to address complex issues. 'Aging with disability' refers to the study of the processes and experiences of aging, in the context of long-term disability, and this notion has driven much of the interest in the construct of bridging in the health care setting [1,2]. In this article the concept of bridging is applied to the aging and disability fields [3].Bridging emerged in the context of increasingly complex health systems that need to adapt to rising demands and changing consumer needs. Aging populations place an added demand on health services, as rates of disability and health care utilization are high in older populations [2,4,5]. Simultaneously life expectancies have increased, meaning individuals living with disability acquired earlier in life may require services and supports to maintain their health and

The brain injury case management taxonomy (BICM-T); a classification of community-based case management interventions for a common language

Abstract: The BICM-T provides a knowledge map with the definitions and relationships between the core actions (interventions domain). Use of the taxonomy as a common language will benefit practice, quality analysis, evaluation, policy, planning and resource allocation.
