Is intensive case management screening sheet score associated with service intensity?

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Since April 2020, the new Japanese mental health system has used the Intensive Case Management Screening Sheet (ICMSS) to identify patients' needs for case management services. This study aimed to examine the association between ICMSS score and service intensity and compare the magnitude of association between ICMSS score and service intensity with other scales.

Methods

We recruited patients who received case management services from a staff member in a psychiatric outpatient service, psychiatric day-care program, or outreach team based at one psychiatric hospital. Case management service needs and functioning were assessed using ICMSS, Global Assessment Functioning (GAF), and Personal and Social Performance (PSP). The case manager also documented all services received
