3rd International Conference on Long Term Care Case Management
Bridging The Many Worlds of Case Management
---------------------------------------------------------------
December 4-7, 1996
Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina, San Diego, California
The 1996 conference particularly will emphasize themes that have
recently taken on international significance. Everywhere health
care and social service budgets have reached their limits of
expansion, and many are shrinking. Public-private partnerships of
various sorts are under consideration, as well as ways to
appropriately involve family members and volunteers in care
provision. Decentralization is occurring, in the United States
through mechanisms such as block grants to state governments,
bringing new challenges and opportunities to case management
programs. Also challenging is determining how consumers can be
empowered despite (or because of) case management programs.
This conference will explore similarities and differences between
case management in managed health care, and other worlds of long-
term care case management that sometimes move in separate orbits.
The conference will examine ways that the worlds of case management
can co-exist, interact, enrich each other, and, at minimum, avoid
collision.
Deadline for Submitting Proposals is February 15, 1996
The Program Committee invites individuals involved in case
management and care coordination at all levels (ie administrators,
supervisors, clinicians, direct service providers, policy-makers,
planners, analysts, educators, researchers, and advocates) to
submit proposals.
