Background / Objective: In the international literature, case management is often found to be a valuable way of organizing home care services and providing continuity of care. However, not many studies have provided evidence that case management can be effective in delaying institutionalization of older persons. The Belgian federal government is interested in funding home care projects that attain this goal. Twenty two case management projects will be analyzed during a 4-year period to reach a policy decision
