| 2.1.2 Models |
 |
 |
| Without consensus on a definition of case management, the development of a wide variety of case management models is not surprising (Orwin, Sonnefield, Garrison-Mogren, & Smith, 1994). Rubin (1992) listed at least 13 distinct models or variants of models. Other commentators highlight many different models or program features that distinguish the ways in which case management is practiced (Brennan & Kaplan, 1993; Holloway, Oliver, Collins, & Carson, 1995; Korr & Cloninger, 1991; Loomis, 1988; Rothman, 1991, 1992). For example, Thornicroft (1991) defined 12 dimensions along which case management programs might differ, such as type of care (direct care versus brokerage of services), target population, and point of contact (setting). A variety of case management programs or models can be developed by emphasizing different dimensions. However, research has not advanced to the point at which particular models can be said to be better than others (Rothman, 1992), and most researchers agree that no case management model is appropriate in all settings with all populations.
