Care manager, older adult, and caregiver perspectives on co-occurring care management among high-need older adults.
Article in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCare management programs are widely used to improve care coordination and management of chronic conditions for high-need older adults. With many care management programs targeting a small number of people, high-need older adults may receive services from more than one care management program (co-occurring care management), the implications of which are unknown.
methodsWe conducted semi-structured interviews with 37 care managers, 15 older adults, and 13 caregivers, who were recruited through an urban academic medical center and a large rural health system in Maryland. We analyzed interview transcripts using qualitative content analysis with the aim of understanding contributors to, implications of, and strategies to manage co-occurring care management among high-need older adults.
resultsContributors to co-occurring care management included siloed programs due to program-specific financial incentives and inability to easily identify other involved care managers, and the complex needs of the enrolled older adult population, which motivated involvement of more than one program. Implications of co-occurring care management included older adults and caregivers feeling cared for and safe when they had multiple care management programs involved and reporting value in their relationships with care managers. Older adults were identified as having greater access to resources and improved care when care manager roles were aligned in a complementary way; however, misaligned roles posed the potential for confusion about care manager accountability for tasks and resulted in frustration and lack of follow-through. Strategies for managing co-occurring care management included alignment of care manager roles through communication and negotiation and older adults and caregivers identifying and relying on a single care manager with whom they had the strongest relationship.
conclusionsInitiatives that clarify strengthen the relationship between care managers and older adults, increase care manager visibility, and facilitate communication across care managers may help foster collaboration.
