Use of intensive case management to reduce time in hospital in people with severe mental illness: systematic review and meta-regression
TLDR
Intensive case management works best when participants tend to use a lot of hospital care and less well when they do not, and it might not be necessary to apply the full model of assertive community treatment to achieve reductions in inpatient care.
