First published in 1986, Matching Resources to Needs describes the
PSSRU's community care approach and analyses the first of the
community care projects, a seminal set of experiments in the care
of the elderly at high risk of institutional long-term care. The
experiments create field structures which provide incentives to
improve efficiency, decentralised power over resources being
balanced by enhanced accountability. The first part explains the
approach, analyses the causes of inefficiency in ~British social
care, and reviews British and American evidence about the
relationships between resources, recipient characteristics and
outcomes. The approach is compared with some two dozen American
experiments hitherto unknown in the UK. It describes the design of
the project and its evaluation. The authors then examine the
experimental results. They show that cost and welfare effects are
better and the costs of outcomes are lower for recipients of
community car. The third part of the book uses observational and
other data to explore the relationships between structures,
assumptive worlds, causal processes and outcomes and their costs.
It also analyses the performance of the core tasks of
entrepreneurial case management for types of case. The book
concludes with a discussion of the broader implications of this
approach to community care.
