Evaluating systems of care for children: utility of the clinical case conference
Abstract
A clinical assessment of the Mental Health Services Program for Youth, a national initiative to integrate systems and coordinate care for severely emotionally disturbed children, was designed to augment and enrich the larger evaluation of program structure. Case conferences were used as a method of examining the effects of collaborative systems of care on vulnerable individuals and of generating clinical insight and understanding. Case vignettes are presented and discussed in terms of the contributions and shortcomings of current system-of-care efforts.
